Does this sound familiar?
Your phone is full of photos
You can't get pictures off your phone, or it keeps saying the storage is full.
A scary pop-up appeared
A message said your computer has a virus and told you to call a number.
Your family is too busy to help
You hate to keep asking, and they explain things too fast.
Is this email a scam?
You're not sure if a text or email is real, so you're afraid to click anything.
You're not alone, and it's not your fault. Technology changes fast. Tech Whiz is here to help.
How it works
Step 1: Call or book online

Step 2: Bethany comes to your home
She arrives on time, sits down with you, and works on your own phone, tablet, or computer.

Meet Bethany
Hi, I'm Bethany Headrick. I started Tech Whiz so people in Sioux Falls can get tech help from a real, kind person, without feeling rushed or talked down to.
I grew up around technology, an advantage many older adults never had. Now I'm determined to help them keep up, and keep their important information safe.
My promise to you: Tech Whiz will never ask for your passwords over the phone, text, or email.
Common questions
What if I'm not good with technology?
That's exactly who Tech Whiz is for. There are no silly questions. We go slowly, and you do the clicking so you really learn it.
Do I need to buy anything?
No. Bethany helps with the phone, tablet, or computer you already have. If something new would help, she'll explain why, and the choice is always yours.
How much does it cost?
A single visit is $99 for up to one hour. Monthly plans start at $85 a month. Homes more than 35 minutes from Sioux Falls have a small travel fee.
Can my son or daughter be there?
Yes! Family members are welcome at the visit, or they can join by phone.
Will you ask for my passwords?
Tech Whiz will never ask for your passwords over the phone, text, or email. If someone calls, texts, or emails asking for your password and says they're from Tech Whiz, it's a scam. Hang up and call us at (605) 610-8764.
What towns do you go to?
Sioux Falls and towns within about 45 miles, in South Dakota, Minnesota, and Iowa. See the full list on our Services page, or just call and ask.
