US Cellular is the latest mobile phone service provider to introduce an unlimited national calling plan, as the company officially introduced a $99 plan that will soon be available to its six million users in 26 states.
In addition to the $99 unlimited national calling plan, US Cellular also announced a $14.95 unlimited text messaging plan as well as a $9.95 unlimited data package plan.
The phone provider already has a $69.94 per month plan that offers 900 anytime minutes, unlimited "easyedge" wireless data access, unlimited incoming calls, unlimited nights and weekend minutes that start at 7 pm, incoming text and picture messages for free, along with free activation.But US Cellular may not offer unlimited data and phone minutes together, so just how many customers may be excited by this new offer is uncertain. The carrier says it will provide further details on the new plan soon.
Verizon Wireless, AT&T, and T-Mobile also introduced unlimited calling plans earlier in the week, igniting a new discount battle. AT&T's unlimited calling plan has officially taken effect, while similar plans from Verizon Wireless and T-Mobile will go into effect soon. Sprint offers an unlimited package that bundles voice, text, and data for $119 per month, but hasn't offered the promotion to many of its markets.
Now that users have similar unlimited domestic calling plans to choose from, they're paying more attention to the speed of the carriers' networks and their data coverage options, rather than just their voice minutes options alone.
