Item 2.02.  Results of Operations and Financial Condition

The disclosures under Item 8.01 — Other Matters below are incorporated by reference herein.

  The information in this Item 2.02 of Form 8-K is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section.

Item 8.01. Other Matters.

On November 13, 2006, United States Cellular Corporation (“U.S. Cellular”) issued a news release disclosing certain ranges for its previously disclosed restatement and that it had filed a Form 12b-25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) with respect to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Form 10-Q”) for the period ended September 30, 2006.  A copy of the news release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference herein.

The Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2006 was due on November 9, 2006.  Although U.S. Cellular has extended such date to November 14, 2006 by filing Form 12b-25 with the SEC, the Form 10-Q will not be completed by the extended deadline of November 14, 2006.  Accordingly, U.S. Cellular’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 will not be filed on a timely basis. U.S. Cellular expects to file the Form 10-Q as promptly as possible.

U.S. Cellular has previously disclosed the certain matters relating to such late filing and the restatement in its Form 8-K dated November 6, 2006.
