U.S. Cellular to host Device Workshop

With the holidays quickly approaching, parents may get their child the gift of a first cellphone. While this is an exciting time, parents are challenged with ensuring their kids use a cellphone responsibly, courteously and safely. To make this milestone easier on both parents and kids, U.S. Cellular will offer a free Device Workshop focused on helping families make the decision of when to get children their first phone along with ways that mobile phones can help families stay connected. The workshop is open to everyone. Associates will offer tips on setting phone guidelines and discuss tools and apps that can help make this decision as smooth as possible. ?Mobile devices help families stay connected, so these Device Workshops are designed to offer hands-on demonstrations that both parents and children will find useful,? said Don Cochran, director of sales for U.S. Cellular in Nebraska and Iowa. ?With a variety of new phone models in the marketplace, as well as an array of Shared Data plans to choose from, we want to help parents make the best decisions for their family.?
