Google Gives All SF Homeless Free Voicemail
 

Google just announced that it's offering all San Francisco homeless people free voicemail to help them get back on their feet. This could be very helpful with job applications, connecting with lost family, and clinic results.

Props to Google for giving back

It's part of the reason why Google acquired GrandCentral.

That's great!

Definitely props - innovative idea... (probably a test for g-phone technology & service).

wow thats real nice

do they hand out computers too?

now all the homeless people need is a computer ;)
i am sure google will provide it to them

nice to hear that from google

Grandcentral is great, super handy.

that's good of them

NOOOO!!!

That would cause an influx of new 'webmasters' to GFY LOL

Voicemails cool though :)

fucking Google man, wow

Thats some good props

Since when do you need a computer to retrieve voicemail?

google is the shit

werd :2 cents:

I doubt that many homeless will use this service.

Interesting.

Free lifelong number with voicemail? Pretty sweet deal.

I'm sure tons of them will, why not, its free! People love free things and when you're homeless and have nothing to do all day, why wouldn't you go set up a number where you can be reached if by chance one day you decide you want someone to be able to reach you.

A great step in the right direction for our society and human kind IMO, thumbs up to Google for a great move.
