Thousands of patients, physicians, administrators and visitors at one of Mississippi’s largest hospitals are now experiencing a robust connection to the C Spire wireless network every day.

It’s time for your kid’s first phone, and questions are swirling in your head. “How do I make sure they are safe while giving them independence? How are other parents monitoring their kid’s phone life?”

C Spire’s investment in its 5G network continues with recent work across Pike County completed just in time for students, teachers and administrators to head back to school.

These sites include South Pike High School, located in the Magnolia community, and Southwest Mississippi Community College on the northeastern side of McComb and Summit.

Parenting in the social media era can be daunting.

Make sure your kids understand that having a connected device comes with responsibilities. Set the ground rules with the C Spire Family Online Safety Pledge, which provides guidelines to help your kids and teens use their devices and the internet safely.

C Spire has invested more than $20 million in upgrades to its wireless network in the first five months of 2023, including hundreds of new and enhanced 5G and LTE sites across its Mississippi footprint. This follows a $118 million investment in wireless enhancements in 2022.

Ultra-fast broadband internet access is at the fingertips of more residents than ever in Alabama, as C Spire’s recently completed acquisition of Troy Cablevision accelerates expansion across southwestern Alabama’s Wiregrass region.
