U.S. Cellular Deals: Free Activation, Trade-ins, & Samsung Repp (Free)

U.S. Cellular is offering some great pre-Black Friday deals. There are free phone deals, a trade-in program and a new entry-level Android smartphone.

The Samsung Repp runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread and features a 3.2" HGVA touchscreen, 3MP camera, 800MHz processor, GPS, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, 2GB storage onboard and microSD card slot. The U.S. Cellular website is showing the Samsung Repp will be free after a $100 mail-in rebate and requires a data plan.

In the U.S. Cellular trade-in program, you can find out how much your used phone or tablet is worth by visiting the trade-in website or at participating stores. U.S. Cellular customers and non-customers are eligible and devices from all carriers are accepted.

Free smartphones currently available for free (with most online orders with free activation) include the HTC Hero, Motorola Electrify, Samsung Mesmerize and HTC Wildfire.

U.S. Cellular also has a free battery program.  Customers visit any U.S. Cellular store and they will swap out your dead battery for a fully charged one for FREE.
