Brings up to 10 times Faster Download Speeds and Better Web
                        Browsing Experience

CHICAGO, Feb. 1, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- U.S. Cellular (NYSE:USM), in
conjunction with its partner, King Street Wireless, is launching a 4G
LTE network next month that will enhance the wireless experience with
countless entertainment possibilities and help customers simplify and
organize their lives. The 4G LTE network will cover 25 percent of U.S.
Cellular's customers and will coincide with the launch of the
Android-powered Samsung Galaxy Tab(TM) 10.1 4G LTE mobile tablet
followed shortly by the Samsung Galaxy S(R) Aviator(TM) 4G LTE
smartphone.

4G LTE speeds allow customers to begin watching a movie in seconds and
enjoy smoother video streaming with little to no buffering, and video
chatting with family or business colleagues is seamless.

With the Samsung Galaxy S(R) Aviator(TM), customers have the ability to
talk and access the Internet at the same time. They can talk to their
family about dinner plans while downloading an app to find nearby
restaurants and simultaneously check out reviews online.

The March rollout of 4G LTE includes select cities in Iowa, Wisconsin,
Maine, North Carolina, Texas and Oklahoma, including some of U.S.
Cellular's leading markets such as Milwaukee, Madison and Racine, Wis.;
Des Moines, Cedar Rapids and Davenport, Iowa; Portland and Bangor,
Maine; and Greenville, N.C. U.S. Cellular is the first wireless carrier
to offer 4G LTE in several of these markets. The next wave of market
launches will be announced later this month.

"With 4G LTE speeds, you can quickly get what you want when you need
it," said Mary N. Dillon, president and CEO of U.S. Cellular. "This 4G
LTE network builds upon our industry-leading network satisfaction and
is the only one that comes with a valuable rewards program and other
unique benefits like Overage Protection and Battery Swap that make our
customers the happiest in wireless."

The Samsung Galaxy Tab(TM) 10.1 is powered by Android 3.2 (Honeycomb)
and has a 10.1-inch WXGA TFT touchscreen. It features superior
multi-tasking capabilities, a video watching experience similar to TV
and smooth graphics and responsive controls for faster gaming. Apps are
downloaded faster on the sleek Samsung Galaxy S(R) Aviator(TM)
smartphone that comes with Android 2.3.6 (Gingerbread). It has a
4.3-inch WVGA s-AMOLED plus touchscreen, 8 megapixel rear camera and
front-facing camera for easy video chatting. Both devices will provide
download and browser speeds that are up to 10 times faster than 3G and
be similar to a cable Internet connection.

The 4G LTE network builds on the 3G data services that U.S. Cellular
customers already enjoy on the carrier's high-quality nationwide
network. U.S. Cellular has the highest call quality and network
satisfaction of any national carrier. For more information about the 4G
