Company Overview

US Cellular is a wireless provider with headquarters in Chicago, Illinois. Its business model is "Dynamic Organization", which promises to deliver outstanding customer satisfaction results. It services about 6.2 million customers in 26 states.

Prepaid Plans

US Cellular Prepaid offers three prepaid monthly plans. All these plans include unlimited calling starting at 9 pm and unlimited incoming calls. There are also two Pay As You Go plans that charge a monthly access fee.

Pros and Cons

The free incoming calls and free incoming text messages are a great help in managing your usage. The $60 and $80 plans include unlimited calling on weekends and holidays. However, the minutes do not roll over to the next cycle so you need you check your minutes on a regular basis so that you don't waste precious minutes. In addition, there is no option to choose the phone you want as US Cellular Prepaid only offers one phone model.

Features

Minutes

The $45 plan has 350 minutes and charges 15 cents per minute for overages. The $60 plan includes 600 minutes and the overage charge is 10 cents per minute. The $80 plan has 1000 minutes and also charges 10 cents per minutes for overage. The two Pay As You Go plans have a monthly access fee of $6 and $10 respectively. The $6 plan costs 15 cents per minute and the $10 plan costs 10 cents per minute.

Data

US Cellular does not provide web access.

Text and picture

All incoming text messages are free and the casual rate for outgoing messages is 25 cents. There are three text messaging plans available. The Text Messaging 250 is for $4.95 per month, the Text Messaging 750 is for $9.95 and the Text Messaging Unlimited is for $14.95 per month. Overages for the first two text messaging plans cost 25 cents per message.

International

US Cellular Prepaid offers international calling and the rates are added on top of the monthly plan. Check the website for the detailed rates to specific countries.

Calling Features

The included features in US Cellular phones are call waiting, caller ID, nationwide long distance and 3-way calling.

Long distance

You may call any location in the US at no additional cost.

911

Yes.

Payment Options

You may refill the minutes in two ways: Cash Refill and Auto Refill. Cash Refill is simply purchasing minutes in any US Cellular retailer through cash, credit card or money order. Auto Refill is done online or by simply dialing the refill menu from your phone. You may also opt to set a specific day in a month when your account will be automatically refilled. Or you may have the system automatically refill your minutes every time the balance goes under $5.

Roaming charge

Roaming charges on all monthly plans is 69 cents a minute. This occurs on areas that have no US Cellular towers.

Activation fee

There is a one-time activation charge of $30.00 to the monthly plans. The same applies when you're activating any compatible mobile phones. For Pay As You Go plans, the activation fee is $50.00. The activation fee offsets the retail price of the phone.

Minute expiration rules

The minutes included on each monthly plan expire on the last day of the cycle. Each cycle lasts for 30 days and the monthly charge date follows the last day of the cycle. You can only refill your minutes if you have paid the monthly fee before the charge date.

Customer Service

Customer service is available through the toll-free or email found in the US Cellular website.

Phones

The only available phone model for US Cellular Wireless is the LG UX145 Black. This phone is pretty basic with limited features.

Dual-Handset Digital Cordless Phone with Call-Waiting Caller ID

I don't have to tell you that times are hard for companies these days. And that means hard on you, the sales rep, too. Now when companies tell you that they don't have the budget, you really believe them, don't you?

Well not the Top 20%.

Top 20% producers are still making 80% of the sales because they know how to adapt in a changing market like the one we're in today. They also know that companies are still buying their products and services, and what they are doing is adjusting how they sell so they can be more efficient with their time and energy. And one of their top priories these days is improving their phone skills.

Whether you only prospect and set appointments by phone, or if your entire sales cycle is conducted by phone, learning to use the phone more effectively is going to be crucial to your success in today's economic environment.

Here are 5 Secrets of Top 20% producers and 5 critical phone skills you need to master today:

Secret #1: Use the phone to disqualify prospects rather than qualify them. With gas prices around $5 a gallon, the last thing you want to do is set a bunch of unqualified or so/so appointments and then spend your time, energy, and gas running around accomplishing nothing.

So do what the Top 20% do: when they get an answer that gives them that feeling in their gut (what I call a Red Flag), stop and qualify it! Ask the tough questions. For example, if your prospect says you can drop something off if you wish, ask:

"I'd be happy to. And let me ask you, after you see the information when are you planning to make a decision on it?"

Or,

"I'd be happy to. What do you need to see in it to move forward and put my company to work for you?"

Don't be afraid to throw away the non-buyers! Remember: Leads never get better!

Secret #2: Be prepared with solid scripts to handle the common brush offs you get - especially the, "We don't have the budget now". When you get this, you should reply with:

"I completely understand. Like most companies, I know you don't have extra money to throw around these days. But I also know that you still need to advertise your business and drive customers in the door. ________, let me ask you - if I could show you how advertising just $1,000 with us this month could bring you back $2,000 or more in business, isn't that something you should know more about?"

(Adapt this script to fit your product or service)

Secret #3: When closing, learn how to cut through smokescreen objections and find out what is really holding your prospect back - and whether they are ever going to be a deal or not!

To do this, start questioning and isolating objections rather than answering them. If your prospect says: "The price is too high," say:

"I can understand that. Let me ask you - if the price were right where you wanted to spend, is this something you would go ahead and order from me today?"

Any answer other than yes means that this is just a smokescreen and answering it will get you nowhere.

Secret #4: Start recording your phone calls and make it a habit to begin listening to them and finding ways to improve.

This is without a doubt the most important thing you can do but, surprisingly, it's the last thing 80% of sales reps will ever do. You will learn and improve more in a week than you will in 5 years of sales training. In fact, I've literally doubled my income in 90 days using this technique. Try it - it'll change your career...

Secret #5: Make a REAL commitment to improving every aspect of your phone calls and of your sales presentations. I call it Practicing Perfection. You've heard the saying that practice makes perfect, right?

Well that's wrong! Only practice of perfection makes perfect. If you keep adlibbing your way through your qualification calls and closing presentations, you're going to keep getting poor results.

But if you commit to finding and then using proven skills like the ones above, then you'll improve on each call and you'll make more sales. Just like the Top 20% do right now!

Learning how to manage your time to increase your effective work time will lead to increasing your productivity and this, in turn, will lead to you earning more money. The latter is provided that your productivity relates to money-earning activities and not you simply being busy.

So here are three expert tips from Internet Marketing guru, Dan Kennedy, for better time management, increasing productivity and boosting your income:

1. Don't answer emails,

2. Don't accept unscheduled phone calls, and

3. Master at least a couple of money-making skills that are relevant to your professional or business goals.

I can hear some of your objections so let's go into these with a little more detail.

Don't Answer Emails

By this I don't mean that you NEVER answer your emails but chances are you are receiving scores of emails each and every day that are pulling you in every direction. You probably receive your fair portion of spam mail as well.

Be realistic about the amount of time you are spending reading and answering emails. If these emails are related to income-generation then all well and good, but I would be willing to bet that many of the emails you deal with simply take your focus away from what you want to achieve. They take your eye off your goal. They steal your time.

Do you have a notification device that lets you know when you have new mail? If yes, please switch it off NOW. Again, each time that little icon flashes with that message "You have mail" you are distracted and it takes time to re-focus your attention to get back into a mode when you are being truly efficient.

Here are five more quick tips for dealing with email:

1. Schedule a couple of times a day to deal with email.
2. Allocate a specific amount of time to deal with email.
3. Be ruthless when dealing with email - if it is not relevant - TRASH IT!
4. Use a good spam filter.
5. Set up filters for your emails so that they go directly to specific folders.

Don't Answer Unscheduled Calls

When you receive phone calls the person calling is generally not interested in you. They are interested in their own agenda. And, if you allow them to, they will steal your time and distract your attention away your goal.

Your time is a precious non-renewable resource. Use it wisely.

So here are five quick tips for managing phone calls

1. Switch your phone off during times of peak money-earning activity.
2. Have clear, instructional messages on your phone - generally, if the call is important and it's not sales-related, the person calling will leave a message.
3. Use a separate number for your clients.
4. Use caller id and screen your calls.
5. Allocate specific times during the day for making calls.

Master Money-Making Skills

Dan Kennedy doesn't mince words and said in a recent teleseminar that,

"Most people try to get from point A to point B without any mastery. Bluntly, they are often lazy and cheap about investing in mastery."

If you examine those who are making the most money from Tiger Woods to Warren Buffet, you will find it is because they have mastered a particular skill.

However, mastery takes TIME and MONEY. By applying the tips stated earlier you will gain more time and you can put this time to good use.

Let's say for example that you gain 20 minutes a day, although I am confident that these techniques will allow you to gain far more than that. Then over a five-day week you will gain 100 minutes, over a month 400 minutes and over a year 4800 minutes or 80 hours!

If you spent that time in mastering a money-making skill relevant to your professional or business goals just think how your income could soar. However, you also have to be prepared to invest in your continued professional development.

So here are five quick tips for mastering your money-making skills:

1. Identify a money-making skill that is relevant to your profession or business.
2. Identify the best in that field and learn from them.
3. Allocate time for self-development and mastery every day.
4. Seek out opportunities to put your skills into practice.
5. Repeat for a second money-making skill - it's always good to have options and multiple income streams.

Follow these tips and you will be amazed at how much more you accomplish and delighted by how much your income increases.

In this age of information overload, there has never been a more critical time to learn how to master your time.

GE Edge Cordless Telephone With Call Waiting/Caller ID And Digital Answerer - 2 Handsets - Model 25942EE2 5.8GHz

40 name/number call waiting caller ID (activation required)

Digital answering system with 14-minute recording time and counter

Handset speakerphone provides hands-free communication

VIP ring tones assigns your favorite ring tones to saved numbers

Features do not disturb function

Includes AC adapter and belt clip

Unwanted calls affect almost everyone who has a phone. Giving your phone number out nonchalantly can increase the number of strange calls that one receives, but even the most circumspect of phone owners can still get the occasional ring from an unwanted caller. While not all unwanted callers are a threat or a source of potential worry, some are. That means that you should do your best to be vigilant about who you give your phone number to. In addition, you may want to take extra precautions by familiarizing yourself with a caller complaint site.

Caller complaint sites are websites that let users share information about problem phone numbers and unwanted callers. Prank callers, telemarketers, and other unwanted and annoying callers are all under scrutiny through caller complaint sites. When you visit a caller complaint site, the first thing you should do is take a look around at the vast variety of different caller complaints that have been logged. Be sure to note the most often cited phone numbers. Should one of these numbers ever call you, you'll know there's an unwanted caller on the other end, and you don't need to waste your time answering.

Furthermore, this is just one way that a caller complaint site can help you keep your phone safe. You can also post complaints of your own through the website. This way, you can inform other concerned users about the number that's been bothering you. Plus, you'll be able to harness the power of community to force your unwanted caller to stop bothering you and others once and for all.

Should you ever want or need to complain about a phone number, now you have access to a great resource that helps you to do just that. That way, even the strangest of unwanted callers won't be a source of worry for you anymore, because you'll have a plan of attack ready whenever you need it.

If you have ever been the victim of harassing phone calls, you know how frustrating it can be. Whether it is land line calls that bother you during dinner or while you try to sleep or cell phone calls that eat up your minutes and cost you money, prank or unwanted calls are a real nuisance. There are ways you can put an end to harassing and annoying phone calls, however. Online technology allows you to perform a reverse phone number look up, on either cell phone numbers or land line numbers, and they are completely legal.

Even with the advent of caller ID, some people still think they are anonymous over the phone. They make insulting or obscene phone calls all the time and assume that nothing can really happen to them since you can't legally trace phone calls. The truth is that there are now websites online that give you the power that once only belonged to police officials, and best of all, it is completely legal.

There are many different websites that offer the ability to trace phone numbers, but not all of these sites are created equal. Some will only try to match a White Pages listing with the number you enter, while others provide much more information based on your search. Obviously, you want to deal with the site that's going to give you the most complete report possible.

If you are interesting in exercising your legal right to a reverse cell phone lookup, find a reputable site for all of you phone tracing needs. You don't have to be the subject of lewd or obscene harassment over the phone ever again. Arm yourself with the information you need to end harassing phone calls right away. It is your legal right to make yourself safe.
