I like this and I think it is a good idea...<p>...but how will the homeless people check their messages? How is this better than a homeless applicant getting a pay-as-you-go phone to get a job?<p>I understand that the go-phones are not free, but there is no contract or long term commitment, and that way they will actually have a way to get to their voice mail.<p>This reminds me of a story a little while back about a man who voluntarily limited himself to $25 and the clothes on his back, worked his way to an apartment, a truck, and a decent amount of savings in less than a year.<p>Congratulations Google et. all. I hope this project works out well.
