Verizon Wireless Workshops for Smartphone Buyers

A growing number of smartphone and tablet users are turning to Verizon Wireless to get the most out of their wireless devices, says the company.

Overall attendance at its Wireless Workshops is expected to grow as summer ends with children going back to school and parents making time to brush up on their own smartphone and tablet skills.

Verizon Wireless Workshops are free of charge and available online and in most Verizon Wireless Communications Stores. Customers can visit www.verizonwireless.com/workshops to search for a list of topics and schedules at participating stores in their area as well as information about online sessions.

At more than 90 percent of Verizon Wireless retail locations, in-store data experts provide customers with the information and tools they need to maximize their wireless experience, in addition to one-on-one sessions.

“Customers turn to Verizon Wireless to enhance their wireless lives, and Wireless Workshops are a great place for lifelong learners who want to take advantage of the full power of their smartphones and tablets,” said Marni Walden, executive vice president and chief operating officer of Verizon Wireless.

“The goal of our Wireless Workshops is to teach customers how to harness the power of these dynamic tools to enrich their daily lives and become more productive.”

The lineup of online and in-store workshops is updated as the latest wireless devices are introduced. Most recently, Verizon Wireless launched the “HTC DROID INCREDIBLE 4G” workshop where customers can learn about Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and HTC Sense 4.0, in addition to basic and unique features.

Customers can also sign up for the “Samsung Galaxy S III” workshop to learn about the device’s functionality as well as camera features such as S Beam, Share Shot and Buddy Photo.
