Answer:

The pricing strategy used by U.S. cellular is called the "Competitive-parity method".

Step-by-step explanation:

In using the competitive-parity method, a firm sets prices for its products or activities in line with how competitors are pricing similar products or activities.

It is a defensive strategy that a firm uses to avoid overspending and attain, at least, the same level of performance as a competitor.
