Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!



Call us to reserve your free hour-long, one-on-one appointment with a cell
phone coach. Bring your own cell phone (any brand, with any provider) or we
will have demonstration phones available for you to use.



There’s no charge to work with a coach and no phones or calling plans will
be sold. This is a chance for you to ask questions about your own phone
and/or learn how a person who cannot see the keys or the screen on a typical
cell phone can use features they need or want to use independently.



Don’t miss out on learning how to:



·       Dial your phone, answer calls, get your messages,

·       Change your ring tone,

·       Send text messages to your friends & family,

·       Use a list of contacts to keep phone numbers handy,

·       Keep an electronic calendar of appointments, and

·       Much more than just making and receiving phone calls.





*Children under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian! *
