Farm Workers

Joe is a temporary farm worker. "Life is good," says Joe, "I pick pumpkins in Riverside, strawberries in Oxnard, grapes in the wine country, and apples in the State of Washington. I am always outside in the fresh air."

"The problem I have is when I am between jobs; I am not sure where I will be staying. I use a friend's phone number where my boss, friends and family can call me, but I don't always get the message and it's hard to make a call from there. Also, I have to keep all my money in cash because I don't have a bank account and cannot qualify for a credit card," says Joe.

Joe was very happy when his boss told him about PhonePlusPlus and how it could help him. "PhonePlusPlus has a GenieCard Visa® Prepaid Card with it and my bosses can give me my pay as a direct deposit, no more paying 3 to 5 percent to the check cashing store for cashing my paycheck. I can get cash at any ATM Machine, or use my GenieCard anywhere Visa debit cards are accepted and I don't have to worry about having enough cash with me all the time, it is much safer," says Joe.

PhonePlusPlus also gives Joe a permanent telephone number so his boss, friends and family can reach him, leave a message, page him or send him a fax, often at no charge to them. Joe can use his toll-free number to pick up his messages, return telephone calls and even call his mother in El Paso, Texas. "Now I don't have to pay my friend for calls I make from his phone anymore. He was charging me a lot, too."

"I gave my mother her own GenieCard Companion Card so that when I am picking apples in Washington, I can share some money from my GenieCard with her GenieCard and giver her the cash she needs for the family. It is better then buying money orders and cheaper than using Western Union®, says Joe.
