How US Cellular is a social club

Sounds funny I know....to say that a cell phone company is a social club, but thanks to Facebook it has become one. Everyone has things they love about their cell service mainly how having a phone where ever he/she is has opened their world. Seems like where ever I go conversations get started by what kind of phone one has or nowadays tablets. We all seem to muse over how far technology has come in just a couple decades....from phones in a bag, dial up internet and aol, to smart phones and tablets where the internet and friends are a touch away!

I have had US Cellular from day one. My first phone was an ultravox.....I was very proud of entering the wireless world and though there was no internet, I could make phone calls where ever I was! How cool was that! I then got a Nokia....internet capability with EasyEdge but expensive and not very good compared to the computers. Then came my first Smart Phone!!!! The now-not-so-great Samsung Acclaim!

So, back to subject of social media! Once I entered the smart phone world there was no turning back...in about two years I now have had four smart phones and two tablets....but these gadgets are little computers and so sometimes a new user needs help. I started hanging out more on the Facebook US Cellular page....I made a friend or two, then three, then well, I lost count. Groups were formed, some for social, some for phone assistance, some geared more toward tablets...groups even popped up for a particular phone so that if help was needed the experts would be on hand. Oh and my latest smart phone horse in the stable, the Motorola Electrify is the best phone I have had so far...can't wait to see what US Cellular offers next!

People started sharing favorite apps, what kind of case to buy, screenshots, well before I knew it I was wrapped up in a techie world with a totally different kind of friends than my dog or horse friends. I am easily amused so a group of adults with nicknames like duck, chicken, robo chicken, fuzzball, wabbit (we have a couple wabbits), sunshine, and people from all walks of life enjoying themselves on the internet just happened to fit my lifestyle.

The more time we spend together the better we all get to know each other and even sometimes have things in common outside of the wireless world. Friendships have been developed and lives are being shared. Surgeries, weather, new grandchildren, job changes, you name it.

I can't speak for other wireless companies....but US Cellular has brought a lot of people together and the passion we all share for our wireless company says something for the company itself. Thank you US Cellular for being a great wireless company and bringing fellow customers together as friends!!!! That is why I have become a member of the Customer Crew......and proud of it!
