Disaster Relief: 10 points for State Farm & Verizon and the Penalty Box for T-Mobile

Verizon was also able to help out in the Gulf after Katrina- they have quite the remote system set-up that they deploy in disaster situations, and they were up and running pretty quickly. They also replaced phones fee of charge for fire and rescue personnel when the extreme humidity ruined their old ones. I'm a bit biased, but they really are a good company and they deserve the kudos, BTD.

Why, do you work for them?

My hubby does- he just told me that they gave about 800 phones free of charge to rescue personnel in SoCal, and had their 'COWS' (cell towers on wheels) set up and running asap- they are still running at a 95% coverage even in the affected areas. Not only are they doing good things for the people that need help, but they treat their employees really great. I wish more companies were like them.
