Mobile virtual network operator Working Assets Wireless announced it will begin offering a solar-powered cellphone charger for free for a limited time. The company said the offering is part of its effort to help subscribers “connect to progressive causes.”
“If we want to reverse the negative effects of global warming, we have to consider our daily actions as the first place to make changes,” said Laura Scher, CEO of Working Assets. “By offering environmentally friendly products like the Solio, we give our members an easy way to reduce global warming through an everyday action-talking on their cellphones.”
Working Assets Wireless said the Solio charger accepts power from the sun or a wall socket. Normally a $100 retail value, the MVNO said it is offering the device for a limited time to new subscribers who purchase the company’s LG Electronics Co. Ltd. 150 flip phone.
Working Assets Wireless offers service through the Sprint Nextel Corp.’s CDMA network.
