CHARLESTON, SC – November 2, 2011 – To help customers keep up with the blazing speed of technology innovation, Verizon Wireless has announced it will host free local workshops to educate consumers on the basics of wireless platforms and devices. Verizon Wireless provides a new web resource that allows consumers to search for both basic and advanced workshops taking place in their local area. 

The workshops, which last between one and two hours, are led by Verizon Wireless’ own specially trained data experts and sales representatives who are steeped in the details of all operating systems on smartphones, tablets and the variety of other devices on sale at Verizon Wireless stores. In addition to in-store workshops, the company offers many of the same workshops online in English, as well as some in Spanish, on-demand at www.verizonwireless.com/workshops.

“We are delighted to provide these personalized learning workshops to help our customers make the most of their wireless devices,” said Jerry Fountain, Verizon Wireless president for the Carolinas and Tennessee. “The interest we’ve had in past workshops has proven to us the need for these kinds of training sessions, and our expert representatives are passionate about teaching consumers how their devices can become an even more important tool that adds value in their day-to-day lives.”
