How to fix US Cellular not working
US Cellular is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:
Your browser tries to reach uscellular.com over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.
Reload and restart
Reload the page (Ctrl+F5, or Cmd+Shift+R on a Mac), or fully close the app and open it again.
Try another connection
Switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data. If it works on one and not the other, the problem is your network, not US Cellular.
Update the app
Install the latest version from the App Store or Google Play. Old versions can stop connecting after a server-side change.
While US Cellular is down: what to use instead
- Wi-Fi calling Turn it on in your phone settings when cellular calls and texts fail at home or work, because calls can go over the Wi-Fi network instead.
- WhatsApp or Signal Use either app over Wi-Fi to reach people who have the same app when standard texts will not send.
- Landline Borrow a landline for urgent calls if no Wi-Fi is available.
- US Cellular help centre Open it from a working connection to find contact options and account help while the app or site is failing.

How we track US Cellular
The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for US Cellular, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for US Cellular, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.
When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. US Cellular doesn't publish a public status page that we know of, so user reports are often the quickest sign that something is wrong on their side.
