Did Mom get a new phone, tablet or other mobile device for Mother’s Day?

Or do you just want to spend some quality time with her, learning how to use your new gadgets?

Maybe you just need some help figuring out that new mobile device, how to download any of the multitude of apps now available or even just the basics.

Then Verizon Wireless has just the thing. Attend a free wireless workshop.

Not only will the workshop help you figure out your new mobile devices, but it will teach you how to download and use apps, including free financial planning and money tracking apps to manage your banking, bills and more.

Verizon is offering two free wireless workshop sessions before the end of the month in Hilo to teach everything there is to know about iPhones, iPads, Android phones and/or Android accessories.

Individuals who want to take advantage of these workshops must register by visiting https://vzwworkshops.verizonwireless.com/vzwworkshops/.

Participants also can call the Hilo Verizon store at 935-6931 with any questions.
