T-Mobile Users Can Go Green with Green Perks

T-Mobile, USA, Inc. announced on Monday the release of Green Perks, a new app that provides exclusive discounts on green products and services. According to the company, the new application can be downloaded for free for a wide range of existing T-Mobile handsets, and delivers to users green-oriented offers and promotions from T-Mobile Green Perks partners like Method, Jamba Juice, Volcom, Roxy and Quiksilver.

The program, the mobile phone carrier says, is meant to offer rewards to consumers who make purchasing decisions that are environmentally responsible. The app brings electronic coupons on the customers' handsets, which can be used at store point-of-sale systems. T-mobile has recently launched the Mobilize initiative, and Green Perks is the latest move in the area. The program includes a variety of products and services that should help users make eco-friendly decisions.

“With mobile phones at the center of so many consumers' lives, T-Mobile is continually exploring fun, useful tools and applications that enhance the lives of our customers,” said Ryan Butz, director, Customer Marketing, T-Mobile. “Green Perks is our latest offering for customers who are concerned about managing and reducing their environmental impact. It builds on the work we are doing with the recent launch of the Moto W233 Renew phone, and our Green Account, which makes it easy for customers to reduce paper associated with their T-Mobile service.”

The T-Mobile Green Perks Web portal enables the carrier's partners to create coupons and promotions that can be accessed through the new T-Mobile Green Perks application. Partner companies will control the timings and details of the offers, yet the offerings should be considered eco-friendly to be listed on the portal. According to T-Mobile, the participants have been chosen due to their products that fit into the sustainable category.

At the same time, the carrier also announced that it was working together with retailers to come up with more offerings for the 2009 back-to-school and holiday seasons. Those of you who would like to download the Green Perks application can find it available here.
