U.S. Cellular Associates Will Help Smartphone Users Get Most out of Their Device OAKLAND, Md. (Nov. 7, 2014)  Did you know that 76 percent of people would rather live without chocolate than their smartphone? Another 62 percent would rather live without TV¹. Smartphones have become a "must-have" device for many people, but not everyone is aware of everything they are capable of doing. Devices such as the iPhone 6 can help simplify and enhance our lives, and U.S. Cellular wants to show residents the tips and tricks of using these devices to the fullest.

U.S. Cellular is offering a free Device Workshop where current or potential smartphone users can ask questions and learn about any device they are interested in. The workshop is open to everyone, and you don't have to be a U.S. Cellular customer to attend. The workshop will be held on Nov. 18 at 6 pm at the U.S. Cellular retail store located at 13180 Garrett Highway, Oakland, MD, Phone: 301-334-6460. In addition, many people will be getting ready for the rush of holiday season. U.S. Cellular associates are available to assist people who want to evaluate options, help with questions, gift giving, or related apps. "We want to ensure that every customer knows how to get the most out of their device and has a great wireless experience," said Jack Brundige, director of sales for U.S. Cellular in the Mid-South. "At U.S. Cellular, we also understand the importance of having a reliable 4G LTE network so our customers can use their devices where they live, work and play." Devices like the iPhone 6 offered by U.S. Cellular enable customers to transform a smartphone to a device that meets their exact needs. ¹ Between November 15 - December 2, 2013, 500 nationally representative online interviews were conducted among smartphone users in partnership with Maritz Research 4G LTE service provided through King Street Wireless, a partner of U.S. Cellular.
