Tips for smartphone users on Okinawa

How is your smartphone doing?

Smartphones are, for many of us, one of life’s necessities that we sometimes take for granted. As servicemembers, you rely on your phones to connect to colleagues and loved ones back home.

These devices don’t only connect us to colleagues and loved ones, but they also function as personal computers.

They help us get around with GPS when we leave our home, quickly fetch us information we want from the Internet, provide a number of apps where we can learn, read, listen to music and more. How many of us don’t have memories stored in the photo and video gallery of our phone?

Smartphones are convenient since they provide all the work of many devices in one, sleek, handheld machine.

But, what if your smartphone stops working or breaks? SumahoDoC in Chatan can help with that!
