This special day was part of our month-long activities supporting Child Abuse Awareness Month, in partnership with the Davis County Council for the Prevention of Child Abuse.

Most times we simply suggest you dispose of them. You […]

We’ve seen a pretty strong adoption of the iPhone already in our area and U.S. Cellular’s excellent network coverage should definitely improve that even more. One of our clients, a U.S. Cellular branch, was working through the process of activating their customers’ new iPhones and it wasn’t going as smoothly as they would have liked. One of our Technicians, Nathan Norton, wrote a script and re-engineered the process […]
