U.S. Cellular offers Mobile Broadband under the name of easyedge. Their primary plan costs $60.00 per month which is right in line with other providers. That allows for 5GB of data usage. Exceed that magic figure, and you’re subjected to the same unconscionable overage fees that most other providers charge. Specifically, $0.49 per MB. In realistic terms, that’s a whopping $501.76 per GB! That’s just about the same fee charged by AT&T, nearly double the charge of Verizon wireless, and almost ten times what Sprint charges.
Wireless modems are available for $119.95 with a 1-year contract or $49.95 with a 2-year contract. They charge a $30.00 activation fee and impose a $150.00 Early Termination Fee.
Smartphones
U.S. Cellular offers data plans for smartphones for $24.95 in addition to the selected voice calling plan.
