U.S. Cellular (NYSE: USM) announced that, starting May 1, it will begin offering its postpaid service in 47 Sam’s Club locations across 14 states, including the two locations in Knoxville. Sam’s Club members can now purchase U.S. Cellular’s value-packed plans and a range of eight cutting-edge devices, which includes the new Samsung GALAXY S® 4.

The two Knoxville stores are located at 8435 Walbrook Drive and 2920 Knoxville Center Drive.

“When customers shop for wireless service, they value having choices in where they shop and bringing our postpaid service to Sam’s Club in Knoxville provides their members with a new option,” said Jack Brundige, director of sales for U.S. Cellular in Tennessee. “We look forward to showing Sam’s Club members that a better relationship with their wireless carrier is possible by providing the best customer experience and treating our customers like neighbors, not numbers.”

Members who purchase U.S. Cellular postpaid service at Sam’s Club will experience all of the benefits of being a U.S. Cellular customer, including award-winning customer service and a Rewards Program that recognizes customer loyalty. Customers can earn rewards points that can be redeemed for faster phone upgrades, accessories and new devices.

U.S. Cellular customers in Knoxville also have access to 4G LTE speeds, which are up to 10 times faster than 3G and similar to a cable Internet connection.

Sam’s Club members who sign up as new U.S. Cellular customers will enjoy waived activation fees valued at $35. For more information on mobile services and plans, visit SamsClub.com/mobile.
