With a recent study showing a nearly 80 percent increase in smartphone shipments from a year ago, there are plenty of first-time smartphone users who may want a little help figuring out everything their advanced devices have to offer. U.S. Cellular (NYSE: USM) is hosting a free workshop on Saturday, Jan. 28 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at 3825 Veterans Memorial Pkwy. in St. Peters to guide attendees through all of the features and functions of the company’s smartphone and mobile tablet line-up, including the Android™-powered Motorola ELECTRIFY, HTC 7 Pro Windows® Phone and BlackBerry® Torch 9850. All questions are welcome from current and potential smartphone and tablet users, and attendees don’t have to be a U.S. Cellular customer.
“Smartphones keep customers connected and organized on-the-go by making it easy to stay on top of schedules and keep in touch with the people and information that is important to them,” said Michelle Groves, director of sales for U.S. Cellular in the St. Louis area. “Customers who switch to U.S. Cellular enjoy many benefits such as a valuable rewards program that recognizes customer loyalty and new phones faster without continuously signing contracts, and join the happiest customers in wireless.”
Device Workshops are helpful for anyone who wants to make sure they are getting the most out of their handsets. Associates will answer questions and demonstrate common features such as e-mail access, web browsing, calendar synchronization, browsing for apps and how the device can be personalized to fit their lifestyles. Attendees can also learn about U.S. Cellular’s free Battery Swap and Overage Protection programs as well as its high-speed nationwide network, which has the highest call quality and network satisfaction of any national carrier.
