Smartphone users each use their devices in different ways to enhance and simplify their lives, and there are endless personalization options to let them customize it to fit their lifestyle. For smartphone customers or wireless customers thinking about making the switch to a smartphone, U.S. Cellular is hosting a free workshop on Saturday, May 5 from 8:30 to 10:00 a.m. at 3197 N. Hwy. 97 in Bend to guide attendees through all of the features and functions of the company’s smartphone and mobile tablet line-up, including the Android™-powered Samsung Galaxy S® II, with its 4.5-inch screen and 8 megapixel camera with flash. 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 Curtis Harper, store manager for U.S. Cellular.

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 the only points-based rewards program in wireless and U.S. Cellular’s free Battery Swap and Overage Protection programs. Its high-speed nationwide network has the highest call quality and network satisfaction of any national carrier.

Device Workshops are being offered each month at U.S. Cellular retail stores across Oregon. To learn more about these workshops, please contact your local U.S. Cellular store.
