MOUNT AIRY, N.C. (June 1, 2018) – Summer is upon us and along with it comes graduations from many levels of education, making this time of year ideal to turn children and teens into responsible digital citizens. A recent U.S. Cellular survey¹ revealed that 64 percent of parents admit to frequently monitoring their kid’s smartphone use, and 70 percent of families have rules about how to use the device.

In honor of Internet Safety Month in June, U.S. Cellular will host a free Device Workshop in Mount Airy on Saturday, June 9 at 9 am at 752 S. Andy Griffith Parkway, where associates will share tips to help keep children safe online. The workshop is open to everyone, and attendees do not need to be a U.S. Cellular customer to attend.

“We invite residents to visit us to learn how to make the digital journey through cellphones and social media with their children”, said Nathan Waddell, director of sales for U.S. Cellular in western North Carolina. “Whether you have the latest smartphone from Samsung or Apple or any other device, U.S. Cellular recognizes the importance of online safety, and we created a customizable agreement to help guide family conversations about smartphone usage, safety and etiquette.”

Please call 336-719-7980 for more information or to RSVP.

¹ Between Nov. 8-17, 2017, a total of 706 online interviews were conducted among a nationally representative sample by Consumer Insights, in partnership with Maritz CX.
