DISASTER RESPONSE & EMERGENCY SUPPORT

UScellular® is here to help you in your time of need.

EMERGENCY SUPPORT FOR OUR NEIGHBORS IN NORTH CAROLINA, TENNESSEE AND VIRGINIA

Our hearts go out to our customers and communities affected by Hurricane Helene. Our network teams are working with local officials and power companies to improve service in many of the impacted areas. Work is ongoing to restore all service as quickly as possible. For impacted areas, we have waived any voice and data overages for customers who receive a monthly bill and have prevented suspensions for all customers at least through Oct. 7.

To keep you connected during this difficult time, UScellular is providing free charging items (charging cords, battery packs, and chargers) at the following locations while supplies last. Some locations will also have snacks, water and charging stations for those in need:

  • UScellular

When natural disasters strike

UScellular can offer their customers in the impacted areas the smartphone data they need and ensure that they will not be charged for any voice, text or data overages or any hidden fees. We keep communities connected by making temporary cellsites available when necessary, and providing complimentary chargers and charging stations.
