Life Wireless Donates to American Red Cross to Support Hurricane Sandy Relief Efforts

Life Wireless™, a cellular provider offering free phone service to income-eligible customers through the federal Lifeline program, has made a donation to the American Red Cross to help victims of Hurricane Sandy.

"The American Red Cross is on the ground providing assistance to communities affected by this devastating storm," said Jim Carpenter, a senior vice president with Life Wireless. "Our thoughts and prayers go out to those families trying to rebuild their lives."

Life Wireless provides telephone service to low-income customers in nine states and Puerto Rico, including two states – Maryland and West Virginia – hard-hit by the storm. Life Wireless has a history of helping communities following natural disasters. In recent years, the company offered service upgrades to victims of floods in Minnesota and a tornado in Joplin, Mo.
