Google gives free voice mail to San Francisco’s homeless

03.05.08 | Comment?

Bless Google for doing something amazing: The company is handing out phone numbers and voice-mail boxes to every homeless person in San Francisco.

Folks can sign up for the numbers at shelters across the city. The numbers will be local and personal — i.e., each person will get a unique 415-area code number that will never expire.

The number will ring a voice-mail box that will play a personalized greeting; homeless people can check their messages by dialing in from any phone.
