I'd say Verizon has made excellent strides in going green wouldn't you? Verizon is also adding to that with the
Verizon Wireless’ HopeLine® cell phone recycling and refurbishing program. The used phones are either refurbished or recycled in an environmentally sound way. With the proceeds from the donated phones, Verizon Wireless helps provide wireless phones and airtime to victims of domestic violence, as well as funding and other contributions to non-profit domestic violence shelters and prevention programs across the country. So be sure to donate you old phone when you purchase the new Samsung Intensity II.
You can purchase the Samsung Intensity II at
verizonwirelss.com or your local Verizon store for $49.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate with a new two-year customer agreement. Customers will receive the rebate in the form of a debit card; upon receipt, customers may use the card as cash anywhere debit cards are accepted. I really need to get one of these for myself.
Just Because Baba Love It!
