Cellular One US Cellular Don't provide data service in contract - want early termination fee desiteTHEIR inability to resolve issues Palatine, Illinois

Despite numerous emails and calls to customer service and customer resolution, US Cellular will not let me out of 2 yr. contract - or even adjust my bills - when they can't/won't provide service signed up for in contract. I'm supposed to have data plan but have never been able to send an email - have spend hours on phone w/customer service and their tech department. Despite being unable to resolve the problem they're still charging me for data service and will not let me out of contract w/o charging $150 early termination fee. Have called and emailed for seven months and gotten no where. The phone they sold me is garbage - it stopped functioning correctly w/in three months after purchase. Local store closed after three months too - nearest US Cellular store is 2 hours from my home.

The worst part of this situation is my cell is also my home and my work phone. They're aware if all details from all the emails and calls I've made asking for assistance. I finally decided I wouldn't pay the $30 monthly fee for data service I wasn't getting. The first month I sent them less than "full payment", they shut off my service with no warning. No letter, no call - nothing. Nice people. Will have to retain attorney to resolve - but would rather give $$$ to attorney than give them one more dollar.
