“No worries” might be the mantra for students heading off on a spring break trip, but without proper planning, a vacation can put you to the test. U.S. Cellular wants to help make sure that spring break remains fun with this vacation checklist:
There’s no place like roam – Before you leave, check to see if your wireless plan covers your travel destination. U.S. Cellular offers national plans that include free roaming, as well as a $69.99 unlimited national plan that provides convenience and service.
Over and Out – Time spent away from family may result in more talk time. Don’t go over your minutes. Sign up for U.S. Cellular’s Overage Protection and receive alerts when you’ve reached 75 percent of your minutes or text messages and another reminder when your reach 100 percent. Overage Protection is a free and easy way to help keep you on budget. If more talking and texting are unavoidable, you can always change your plan at any time with U.S. Cellular.
Back me up on this – Before you leave, make sure your contacts won’t be lost if you lose or damage your phone. U.S. Cellular’s My Contacts Backup is free and saves your contact information online for easy transfer to a new device.
More power to you – Don’t forget to bring your charger. Car chargers provide fast power-up when your battery is low. Extended capacity batteries are also available for many popular phones. Playing games, connecting to the Internet, listening to music, texting and talking all use battery power, so remember to charge your phone. Or you can take advantage of U.S. Cellular’s Battery Swap program. Any customer can bring in their dead or dying battery in a U.S. Cellular store and swap it for a fully-charged battery free of charge.
I have your number – Pre-program important numbers into your phone’s address book and speed-dial functions. Don’t forget numbers for your emergency contact, travel agent, airline, hotel and even insurance agent.
On the road again – If your Spring Break happens to be a road trip, make sure you stay en route with U.S. Cellular’s Your Navigator service, a GPS-enabled application offering turn-by-turn directions from the palm of your hand. Your Navigator is available at a fraction of the cost of traditional in-car GPS navigation systems.
Weather or not – Chances are the forecast will be nothing but sunshine, but if you want to know how much nicer it is at your destination than back home, you can access U.S. Cellular’s easyedgeSM AccuWeather forecasts, complete with up-to-date weather graphics, as well as animated radar and satellite imagery.
Water worries – Afraid your phone might take a dive in the ocean or a spill on the slopes? While some damage can be repaired, many times these catastrophes can be curtains for your phone. You can have peace of mind with cell phone insurance.
