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 March 1, 2007, Telephone and Data Systems, Inc. (“TDS”) issued a news release disclosing that it had filed a Form 12b-25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) with respect to its Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Form 10-K”) for the year ended December 31, 2006.  A copy of the news release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference herein.

The Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 was due by March 1, 2007.  Although TDS has extended such date to March 16, 2007 by filing Form 12b-25 with the SEC, the Form 10-K will not be completed by the extended deadline of March 16, 2007. Accordingly, TDS’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 will not be filed on a timely basis. TDS expects to file the Form 10-K as promptly as possible.

Reference is made to TDS’s Form 12b-25 dated March 1, 2007 and press release attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 for further information.

Item 9.01.   Financial Statements and Exhibits

(d)       Exhibits:

In accordance with the provisions of Item 601 of Regulation S-K, any Exhibits filed or furnished herewith are set forth on the Exhibit Index attached hereto.

Attached as Exhibit 99.2 is a safe harbor cautionary statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
