U.S. Cellular Announces New Device Protection Program
Full-service, customer-experience focused wireless carrier selects Asurion
U.S. Cellular announced today that it has selected Asurion to be its new device protection provider effective January 1,
2020.
Working with Asurion, U.S. Cellular will provide valuable features to the device protection plans, including local and on-demand
repair options and continue providing competitive pricing for customers. Asurion’s industry leadership and innovation will expedite
introduction of customer centric solutions for U.S. Cellular subscribers.
“Asurion was selected for many reasons and we are particularly excited about their ability to fulfill claims on weekends, late
shipping cutoff times, same-unit-repair and a robust product roadmap,” said Jay Ellison, U.S. Cellular chief operating officer.
“Asurion has admired U.S. Cellular’s low churn so we are particularly excited to have earned their confidence. Both of our
companies have a passion for continually innovating and providing outstanding service to customers,” said Tony Detter, Asurion
chief executive officer.
U.S. Cellular strives to deliver the best customer experience and protect their valuable devices.
