Don’t take our word for it, hear what the participants have to say

“With SilverSurfers, I learned how to store my photos in the cloud, use WhatsApp to chat with family, and protect myself from scams online. I feel safer and more confident using my phone.”

“With SilverSurfers, I learned to use Telegram for more than just messaging. I’m now part of a community group where we share helpful tips and updates. It’s been a fantastic way to learn new things and feel more engaged with the world around me.”

“One of the best things I’ve learned with SilverSurfers is checking bus timings on the SG Buses app. I used to wait uncertainly at the bus stop, but now I can see exactly when the next bus is coming. It makes getting around so much easier and gives me peace of mind when I plan my day.”

“I never knew how to use Telegram before, but now I can send messages, share photos, and even join groups that interest me. It’s a wonderful way to stay connected with old friends and make new ones.”
