U3A Heathcote is offering a new group for anyone wanting to learn more about using mobile phones.<\/p>\n
Basic Mobile Phone Use for Seniors with convenor Rosie Palibrk will start on Tuesday 5 May.<\/p>\n
It will run from 10am-noon on the first and third Tuesdays of each month at the guide hall.<\/p>\n
Palibrk said she decided to convene the sessions after talking to fellow U3A members who said they were not confident using their phones.<\/p>\n
“I’m not a guru,” she said, “but I am happy to help others to master the basics and become more confident.<\/p>\n
“If there is anything that people want to find out about and I don’t know, I am prepared to learn so I can help.<\/p>\n
“The sessions will cover arthritis aids to help you hold a mobile phone, powering on and off, volume control, ring tones and alerts, font size, screen contrast, electronic address books, making and receiving calls, and sending and receiving text messages.<\/p>\n
“We will run at a pace that suits everyone.”<\/p>\n
Everyone is welcome to attend the sessions.<\/p>\n
The group is free and no U3A membership is required for the first three sessions.<\/p>\n
