CHICAGO (Aug. 15, 2024) – Today, UScellular launched a new “Family Talk & Text Plan” for customers who are looking for basic connectivity for family members. UScellular customers with two or more unlimited data lines can add Family Talk & Text lines for just $10 a month and benefit from unlimited talk and text capabilities without distractions caused by excessive access to the internet.1
Recent UScellular research found that a third of parents would be interested in a talk and text only line to stay connected to loved ones while also limiting social media use or website browsing.
"At UScellular, we understand the importance of staying connected to what matters most while fostering better healthy digital habits," said Eric Jagher, senior vice president and chief marketing officer for UScellular. "Our new Family Talk & Text plan offers unlimited talk and text features while providing peace of mind and a simple and affordable solution for families who prioritize connection."
UScellular is leading the conversation in developing healthier relationships with technology by collaborating with organizations such as Bark and Screen Sanity. With Bark, parents can monitor their child’s texting activity, manage screen time with real-time alerts and track their location while UScellular and Screen Sanity’s Smarter Start Toolkit includes educational and actionable tools, tips and an agreement for families, so everyone can use technology in a more thoughtful way.
