Ridgeland, Miss. (May 1, 2012) - C Spire Wireless, the only U.S. wireless provider that offers personalized wireless services, today announced plans to conduct its next round of free smartphone personalization workshops for consumers over the next month in 22 cities across three states.

The free, one-hour sessions are open to new and current Android smartphone owners as well as those interested in upgrading to one of the advanced devices.
