US Cellular offers wireless modem services to limited areas across the US through a CDMA 2000 1X network. This type of technology is not quite as good as CDMA2000 1xEV–DO, but if US Cellular supports your area well, this service may be a good choice for you.
They offer a 20MB plan for $30 per month or an unlimited access plan for $60 per month.
US Cellular fees are standard, at $60 per month for unlimited access with a $30 activation fee. Or they offer a 20MB for $30 per month and $.004 per KB for overages.
Coverage for their data service is limited to four regions in the US. On the East Coast they offer support for Eastern Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont and further south in South Carolina, eastern Tennessee and the Virginias. They offer exceptional coverage in Iowa and Eastern Nebraska and cover parts of Kansas, Illinois, Missouri and Oklahoma. In the west they offer support in rural areas of Northern California, Oregon and Washington State. Their roaming area for data services includes many more areas and they do not charge extra for roaming access.
They offer support by telephone or email. Online they post FAQs and account information. However, we contacted them by email with a few questions and did not receive a response after a week of waiting, so before signing up with them you may want to contact them by telephone and make sure you can get the kind of support you need.
If you live or work in the areas served by this company they may be a good choice for you, but if you travel often you may want to consider a service that covers more areas.
