This November countless people across the country are preparing to put down their razors, stay hairy, and raise awareness for the fight against cancer. However, it’s not required to abstain from shaving to get involved in No-Shave November and awareness for cancer research.
Today’s interactive apps and games paired with a cutting edge mobile device, like the 4G LTE iPhone 6 Plus or the Samsung Galaxy S6, make it easy to participate and interact with others involved in the cause right from a mobile phone. U.S. Cellular is offering suggestions for a variety of fun apps and games that can help participants share their experiences and engage others in their journey.
“By combining entertaining and helpful No-shave November apps with our high-quality network and nationwide coverage, U.S. Cellular encourages our customers to become participants in the fight against cancer and share their experiences with friends and family across the country,” said Nathan Waddell, director of sales for U.S. Cellular in Tennessee.
Recent U.S. Cellular Better Moments survey shows 72 percent of owners use their phone to take photos and 25 percent use their phone to share photos a few times a week, making your smartphone the perfect tool to pick up when you set down your razor this No-Shave November.
