3G NETWORK SHUTDOWN

As the global cellular industry upgrades their network for 4G and 5G, we too, are shutting down our 3G network.

Major wireless carriers have already shut down their 3G networks and you're likely starting to notice the effects on your older devices. As we shut down our network, it will eventually lose service completely. We are committed to supporting our customers and are ready and available to assist you through this transition. To keep you connected, we're offering big discounts on 4G/5G devices, no activation fees and no required plan changes.

Your phone may have already started to experience the following disruptions before it stops working completely:
No calling, texting and data usage.
No or slow data.
No 911 or other emergency calls.
Replace your device today to ensure continued service. Don't worry. We're here to help you along the way.

As the global wireless ecosystem prepares for the 3G CDMA network retirement, the industry is phasing out support for 3G CDMA. Consumer devices that use this older technology have no access to voice and data when roaming, including the inability to call 911. 3G devices have no data or very slow (dial-up speed) data when in a UScellular service area. Additionally, UScellular has begun to shut down select 3G towers across our service area. Act now to upgrade to a 4G or 5G device to ensure you remain connected.
To ensure uninterrupted service, upgrade now.

You are likely experiencing the following disruptions.
- No calling, texting, or data usage
- No or slow data
- No 911 or other emergency calls
- No service outside of your home market
