Multi-Brand Mobile Coupon Delivers Exclusive Discounts for T-Mobile Customers on
Green-Focused Products and Services
BELLEVUE, Wash.--(Business Wire)--
T-Mobile, USA, Inc. announced today the debut of Green Perks, a new mobile
application that offers exclusive discounts on environmentally conscious
products and services. Available for download to many current T-Mobile handsets,
the free-of-charge* application brings customers green-oriented offers and
promotions from T-Mobile Green Perks partners including Method, Jamba Juice,
Volcom, Roxy and Quiksilver. The new promotional program is designed to reward
consumers who make environmentally responsible purchasing decisions. 

The opt-in Green Perks application delivers electronic coupons directly to
customers` phones, which can be redeemed manually at store point-of-sale
systems. Green Perks is the latest program under T-Mobile`s recently launched
Mobilize initiative, which encompasses multiple products and services designed
to help consumers who want to make more eco-friendly choices in their daily
lives. 

"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." 

T-Mobile`s Green Perks Web portal allows partner companies to quickly and easily
create coupons and promotions that consumers can access via the T-Mobile Green
Perks application. Partner brands have control over offer timing and other
details, but the offering must qualify as eco-friendly to be listed.
Participating partners were hand-selected to take part in the program because
they have product offerings that fit within the sustainable category. 

T-Mobile is working with large national retailers to create even more exclusive
offers for 2009 back-to-school and holiday seasons. 

Mobilize is a T-Mobile initiative developed to encourage each member of the
T-Mobile family to do his or her part for the environment. It is a recognition
that doing little things, when we work together, can add up to big change. 

T-Mobile subscribers can download the Green Perks application by going to
