It looks like US Cellular is available everywhere, except maybe Hawaii as I don’t see it on the map.
My tip: Eat lots and lots of chocolate. Apparently scientists can now prove what I’ve been saying for years, chocolates is a great stress reliever.

One of my tips to beat holiday stress is to snuggle on the couch with the kids and watch classic Christmas movies like ‘White Christmas’.
My tip is to take time out to relax and enjoy the holidays by planning ahead. The more things you leave until the last minute the more stressful things can be.

I do this year round but on Google Documents I use to put a list of items that I wanted to get someone when I saw it throughout the year and added the name of who I wanted to get it for.
Nowadays with Pinterest, I find it easier as I like the hidden board where I can add the actual pins of items.
Come Black Friday/Cyber Monday, I can browse through this list and pick the BEST item for my friends/family.
Long hot baths are great.
whatever it is it’s all good, there are worse things so just shrug it off
looks like it’s avail in midwest illinois, wisonsin etc
start shopping early, so that you can enjoy the holidays

It is available to all of the states in the US
One way I beat the stress is to make sure I have a list of what needs to get done. That way I can mark it off as I go and not worry that I am forgetting something
Looks like US cellular covers the whole nation.

I did check US Cell coverage and they cover all states of the US but appears to have some spotty coverage in some of the Western states.
