FARMINGTON — As summer heats up, people are planning vacations and cooling off with water-related destinations. Whether headed to the beach for a week, the lake for a weekend or a staycation at a water park, it’s important to keep your wireless device safe.

According to a recent U.S. Cellular survey, 68 percent of smartphone owners have used their phones to assist with traveling. To ensure your device is safe on the trip, U.S. Cellular is offering a free Device Workshop during which current or potential customers can ask questions and learn about any device or accessory.

On Wednesday, July 15 from 9 to 10 a.m. at 642 Wilton Rd. in Farmington, U.S. Cellular associates will also discuss their latest wireless needs and questions. The workshop is open to everyone, and you don’t have to be a U.S. Cellular customer to attend.

“We want the Farmington community to know how to protect their devices while enjoying summer fun,” said Matt Kasper, director of sales for U.S. Cellular in New England. “You will learn how to keep your device safe and dry, so your summer outings can be worry-free. Wherever the summer takes you, the U.S. Cellular 4G LTE network has you covered at home and across the country.”

Anyone who attends the workshop will have the opportunity to win an iPad mini 3. Four iPad mini 3 devices will be awarded each month across the organization.

Please call 207-778-4101 to RSVP to this Device Workshop.
