One Killarney phone store is planning to assist their customers by helping them to get device smart next week.
Three Ireland, based on High Street, will host 3Assist classes in store next Wednesday, February 20, and again on March 20 – aiding customers to get more familiar with their devices.
Hosted by Three staff members, Brendan Caffrey, Killian O’Grady and Catherine Doona, the free classes, will provide customers with an understanding of smartphone usage and functionality, spanning a wide range of topics.

“The classes focus on different elements of smartphones, including setting up your email, how to use social media, how to download apps and much more,” Brendan Caffrey, store manager of Three Killarney, said.

“We know that a lot of our customers own smartphones, but they don’t always feel like they are in control of them or have the confidence to embrace all that the device has to offer. With our 3Assist classes, we provide our customers with the help that they need so they can stay connected with their friends and family. We are delighted to be able to help our customers with these classes, which are really enjoyable for all involved.”

With a limited number of places available, those interested are encouraged to register for the next class in store, he added.
“We do have one-to-one classes and have a group class. The next scheduled class is next Wednesday, February 20, at 9.30am. If anyone wants to take part they can pop into the store or give us a ring on (064) 663 3044.”
