Free Device Workshop

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 phones have to offer. U.S. Cellular, which was recently recognized in a survey by Consumer Reports as the best wireless carrier in the country, is hosting a free workshop at its retail store at 1923 Wentzville Parkway in Wentzville on Saturday, Feb. 19 from 8:00 – 10:00 a.m. to guide customers through all of the functions and features of its Android-powered devices, BlackBerry and Windows smartphones. All questions are welcome from current and potential smartphone users, and the workshop will cover both basic and advanced uses.

Associates will answer questions and demonstrate common features such as e-mail access, web browsing, calendar synchronization and browsing for apps. Attendees can also learn how U.S. Cellular’s high-speed nationwide network can boost their smartphone experience, along with the benefits of The Belief Project, the company’s array of innovative initiatives that recognize customer loyalty with bundled national plans that offer customers the freedom to enjoy benefits without signing continuous contracts.
