For New Users Or Those With Questions; In-Store Sessions Have Plenty of Answers

Ridgeland, Miss. (July 25, 2012) – C Spire Wireless, the only U.S. wireless provider that offers a suite of personalized wireless services, today announced plans to conduct its next round of free smartphone personalization workshops for consumers next month in 19 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. Attendees do not have to be C Spire Wireless customers. The sessions will be led by specially-trained C Spire data and engagement specialists who are knowledgeable about the Android mobile operating system and will cover a comprehensive range of topics, including email access, mobile web browsing, calendar synchronization, apps, photos, music, maps and more.

With more than 61 percent of its customer base using smartphones, well ahead of the U.S. average of 50 percent, C Spire wants to ensure that existing, new and prospective Android smartphone users have ready access and answers to all of their questions on how to personalize these devices to fit their lifestyle.

“These free workshops are a key component in our commitment to help consumers personalize their smartphones in new, meaningful and relevant ways,” said Jim Richmond, director of Corporate Communications for C Spire Wireless. “Our expert data specialists are passionate about helping consumers learn how to make these devices an even more integral part of their personal and professional lives.”
