You know it’s a pain to go through voice mail every day. Sure enough, you can detect some numbers and decide not to listen to them at all. However, there are others which you should/could listen, only to find out no action on your part is needed. Hence, Voice Mail to Text services were born, transcribing audio into text and allowing you to see (rather than hear) what a guy/gal on the other end of the line has to say. U.S. Cellular announced such service for its users, offering it … Read more

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and Galaxy S Aviator are the first to get a taste of US Cellular’s LTE network
US Cellular has officially announced its first two LTE devices for its yet-to-be-born network in the form of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and the Galaxy S Aviator.

US Cellular will get its own version of the Samsung Galaxy S II. Marked as SCH-R760, it has been approved by the FCC and is now officially ready to be sold on the U.S. soil. Unfortunately, we’ve no idea when the carrier will officially announce the device, but since they have the paperwork ready, I guess we shouldn’t wait for too long. Specs wise, we can’t tell whether US Cellular’s version of the smartphone rocks a Galaxy S II “standard” 4.3-inch screen or bigger 4.52-inch one like Sprint’s and T-Mobile’s … Read more

U.S. Cellular passed on the iPhone
You know that iPhone that millions of consumers want and Sprint spent $20 billion to be able to sell? U.S. Cellular said it passed on the device because it would have cost too much and Apple’s terms were too onerous, according to a report from FierceWireless. With just 5.62 million subscribers, U.S. Cellular is playing a different ballgame than AT&T, Sprint, Verizon and T-Mobile, as the regional carrier can’t afford the heavy subsidies that come with the iPhone.
