WILKESBORO, N.C. (September 5, 2019) – With the litany of options and devices available, buying a new cellphone can be an overwhelming experience for some. For parents and families, things can get even more complicated when it comes to deciding which cellphone is best for their children, especially those returning to the classroom. How much screen time should be allowed and what is the most appropriate age that a child should be given a smartphone are all questions that families may face when making that big decision. Luckily, U.S. Cellular is here to help answer these questions and more.
