Global tech care company Asurion announced today it was selected by U.S. Cellular to be the full-service wireless carrier’s new device protection provider effective January 1, 2020.

Asurion will offer U.S. Cellular customers device protection plans with valuable new features including local and on-demand repair options while continuing to provide competitive pricing for customers. Asurion’s industry leadership and innovation will expedite introduction of customer-centric solutions for U.S. Cellular subscribers.
