Women Impacting Public Policy (WIPP) and AT&T hosted an interactive Consumer Education Briefing on May 26, 2011. The face-to-face briefing attracted nearly thirty San Francisco Bay area leaders from organizations such as Renaissance Entrepreneurship, CAMEO, the San Francisco Commission on the Status of Women, the Latino Community Foundation, and the Community Technology Network. The briefing covered WirelessED, a new educational program created by Consumer Action and sponsored by AT&T.
WirelessED is designed to educate wireless users about how best to utilize their wireless devices and services. It also offers other tools and resources to help consumers manage their usage to avoid unanticipated charges. For additional information please check out the WirelessED website.
Attendees also learned about California's LifeLine program, designed to provide discounts on basic telephone service to eligible low-income households. You can learn about this program at the following webiste: www.att.com/Lifeline.
Also covered was an educational program known as Smart Controls. Smart Controls is an all-in-one destination for consumers to receive the most from AT&T services for mobile phones, computers and television. Check it out at: www.att.net/smartcontrols.
