Every year, the latest connected devices make a play for space on our Christmas lists. And while they are definitely efficient, entertaining tools that we rely on daily, those same devices can also distract us from spending quality time with family and friends.

Our kids are more impressionable than we sometimes like to think. That’s why setting a positive example for them to follow is so important. In order for those good habits to stick, parents have to walk the talk — and that includes being mindful of how you use technology when they're around. Here are some tips to follow.

At C Spire, we’ve weathered and recovered from our share of hurricanes and other natural disasters, all while helping connect survivors to crucial aid sources and loved ones with our wireless network. And we’re always ready to lend a hand to our neighbors.

New enhancements to the C Spire wireless network in Biloxi, Miss., are impacting high-traffic areas along the beachfront as well as near schools.

Just in time for fall events like Cruisin’ the Coast — an annual weeklong gathering that attracts 10,000 classic cars and automobiles — our cell site near Edgewater Mall, one of the prime locations for viewing and visiting, just got a big boost in wireless coverage and capacity.

In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, C Spire has mobilized to support Carolina West Wireless by delivering six full-size generators and two towable generators to aid in restoration efforts in North Carolina. The devastating storm made landfall Sept. 26 in Florida before wreaking havoc across several states, including Georgia and the Carolinas.

This collaborative effort highlights the importance of partnership in natural disasters, where multiple entities' collective strength and resources can accelerate the recovery process.
