CHICAGO, Aug. 29 /PRNewswire/ -- U.S. Cellular has teamed up with Univision Movil to provide customers with expanded Latin content and wireless services in Spanish. Cell phone users now can download Latin content including music, games and news services in Spanish through Univision Online. The new category, "En Espanol" is available through U.S. Cellular's easyedge(SM) suite of data applications. The new feature provides access to the growing number of Hispanic customers to informative, entertaining, convenient and relevant information.

"U.S. Cellular's partnership with Univision Movil provides more options for more of our customers," said Carlos M. Garcia, Hispanic segment marketing manager, U.S. Cellular. "This partnership underscores our commitment to providing the best customer experience to our Hispanic customers."

U.S. Cellular's launch of Univision Movil signals a growing trend in the wireless industry toward cell phone use linked to lifestyle choices, not just the convenience of being able to place a call.

Garcia adds that 29 percent of Hispanics download, more than any other group.

Five new applications now are available through U.S. Cellular's collaboration with Univision Movil. The new content is available through the company's new "En Espanol" category accessible through easyedge(SM).
