This baseball season, UScellular and the Milwaukee Brewers™ are encouraging fans to take a timeout from their phones so they can spend more time creating genuine connections.
UScellular is encouraging everyone to put their phones in US Mode so they can focus on spending quality time with their friends and family. Track how you spend your time in US Mode, and you could earn a free ticket voucher for a 2025 Brewers™ game.
UScellular is leading the conversation around developing a healthier relationship with technology to build more meaningful connections. Technology helps us connect with what matters most, but sometimes there are unintended consequences when technology gets out of place in our lives.
US Mode is a signature experience that can help you minimize device distractions. For assistance setting up US Mode, stop by a UScellular retail store or visit uscellular.com/BuiltforUS.
This is part of our ongoing effort to encourage purposeful use of technology and foster healthier relationships with our devices and stronger relationships with each other.
When it comes to stepping away from screens, the “out of sight, out of mind” approach is often the easiest way to start. UScellular recently formed a Board of Connectors, made up of youth from Boys & Girls Clubs of America and children of UScellular employees, to get young people’s perspectives on how families can create better digital habits together. Based on their feedback, we are offering DIY instructions on how to create your own “phone box” to keep your family’s phones and devices out of sight during dinner, playtime, or family time.
While unplugging, use that time to share meaningful moments. Reminisce about your favorite memories with your partner or reconnect with an old friend over dinner. Host a game night with neighbors or cook a new recipe with your family. These moments are irreplaceable when you’re fully present, away from the digital noise.
If you’re not comfortable completely stopping all your notifications, US Mode is a great UScellular tool that can minimize distractions and notifications on your phone. US Mode lets you set limits on apps, turn off non-essential notifications and schedule quiet hours to help you stay present. You can learn more about US Mode here.
Disconnecting doesn’t mean being idle—use the opportunity to get creative! Whether it’s painting, drawing, crafting, or DIY home projects, any of these activities help you relax and while also feeling accomplished. Reading a book or journaling also provides a peaceful break from tech and nurtures your imagination.
You can establish healthier digital habits by unplugging with your kids. Utilize tools like the Smarter Start Toolkit from UScellular and Screen Sanity, which offers tips, resources, and a customizable parent-child agreement for creating more balanced tech use at home.
Take a break from the screen and embrace nature. Go for a walk or bike ride or explore your local park to enjoy some fresh air. Outdoor activities like running, swimming, or shooting hoops are also great ways to stay active. For self-care, try substituting tech-heavy relaxation routines with things like yoga, meditation or simply soaking in the sun.
