When we first signed up for our wireless plan, we had some sort of family contract (I’m not sure what, exactly, as I don’t directly handle the wireless bill) that gave us certain perks – certain calling circles, etc. Then our carrier got bought out by another carrier. They grandfathered our plan, so we still have the same plan – but only as long as we have exactly the same phones. So if we ever upgrade a telephone or, heaven forbid, one of our phones should die, we get moved over to a new plan that isn’t as good. 🙁 This is part of the reason I still have an ancient cell phone!

In spite of overall dissatisfaction, survey respondents are slow to break up with their carriers. As you can see in the Infographic above, more than one-third of respondents say they stay with their current provider because they believe all carriers are the same, it is too much trouble to switch carriers, or they don’t want to sign a new contract.
U.S. Cellular believes people decide better, so in addition to passionate associates, U.S. Cellular provides customers with unique benefits such as the industry’s only points-based rewards program, no contract after the first contract ends, free incoming calls and texts, free Overage Protection and free Battery Swap for your device.
How do you fit into the survey results? Are you happy with your wireless provider? If not, why haven’t you switched?
