Smartphone Users Are Invited To Learn More About How To Use Their Devices
ST. LOUIS, July 8, 2011… 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, July 16 from 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. at 1837 Homer Adams Pkwy. in Alton to guide attendees through all of the features and functions of their Android™-powered, Windows® Phone and BlackBerry® devices that can enhance their lives. All questions are welcome from current and potential smartphone 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 Micah Mayfield, store manager for U.S. Cellular. “Customers who switch to U.S. Cellular enjoy many benefits such as new phones faster without continuously signing contracts, Battery Swap and Overage Protection and join the happiest customers in wireless.”
