Verizon HopeLine app aims to help domestic violence victims

8

Verizon’s released a new appm in conjunction with MEDL Mobile to launch HopeLine, a new app aimed to help victims of domestic violence. HopeLine will urge people to donate their old phones to the cause to give domestic violence victims a means of finding help should they ever need it.

The app itself will be a great tool for those victims as they will have quick access to many resources and phone numbers they can call to get support in any domestic violence situation.

The app can also help you organize your own HopeLine drives and will even let you read some success stories to get motivated about helping the cause. If this is something you feel strongly about and would like to get involved then we urgeyou to grab the quick 13MB download in the Google Play Store.

The "Google Phone" sounded too awesome to pass up, so I bought a G1. The rest is history. And yes, I know my name isn't Wilson.

  1. Wonder if we should use this hotline to report the raping their new share everything plans are for customers.

    1. LOL amazing.

  2. That’s nice, but not particularly impressive. It rather reminds me of Mafia funerals, where the biggest floral arrangements came courtesy of the party that put out the hit. In this case, the company with the most tarnished image strives the hardest to polish it, cutting microscopically into massive profits to fund a handful of socially good-looking, if penny ante (and tax deductible), things like this. Ironically, social welfare has become the beneficiary of corporate greed. (Saw it when I worked at BP, too.)

  3. The share everything plan that most of you complain about actually saves money for the average data user, and it’s not like you have to switch to it

    1. It doesn’t save money for everyone. Everyone’s case is different. For me, I’d be paying $15 more per month, believe it or not.

  4. Definitely not for everyone. If you don’t talk on the phone much and you’re an average data user, the older plans are cheaper. It’s typically the people with multiple smart phones or data devices like the mifi. I work for verizon and I’ve changed hundreds of plans to save people money. Myself? I have an old plan with my unlimited data

  5. Not to take anything away from “domestic violence” but when I saw “hope line” and Verizon in the same paragraph I thought there might be hope for a half way decent data package in there somewhere.
    Now excuse me, I got to go whoop my kids for going over our 2 GB family plan limit again. :|

  6. I agree. I go through two gigs in no time, but over 80% of the people I sell phones to just want to get there emails and stalk people on Facebook. A lot of these people are cryphone users who refer to gigabytes as Giggitybytes. Lol
