Earlier this month, U.S. Cellular expanded its 4G LTE network to over 30 new cities in several different states, including Illinois, Maryland and Virginia. Today the carrier has some more LTE-related news to announce in the form of a new rate plan. U.S. Cellular has taken the wraps off of an unlimited 4G LTE data plan, giving customers in markets where its LTE coverage is live the option signing up for a bottomless bucket of bytes for $40 per month. A tethering add-on for the plan is also available for an additional $20 per month. U.S. Cellular says that the plan will be available "for a limited time."
U.S. Cellular is also offering some deals on select smartphones. For example, the Samsung Galaxy S III is being offered with a $100 instant rebate, bringing the handset down to $199. The Huawei Ascend Y is also available for one penny. Additionally, any customer that buys a smartphone or tablet the option of picking up a Samsung SCH-LC11 4G LTE mobile hotspot for free.
When U.S. Cellular announced its most recent 4G LTE expansion, the carrier said that is plans to roll out LTE coverage to towns like Rockford, Ill., and Knoxville, Tenn., "shortly," with the LTE network expected to cover 58 percent of U.S. Cellular customers by the end of 2012. That's good news for any U.S. Cellular customer interested in making the jump to LTE, and with today's introduction of an unlimited LTE data plan, that move may be even harder to resist for the USCC folk out there. Are any of you a U.S. Cellular customer that's already covered with LTE service?
