Yesterday, I posted this over at the Innovation3 blog: Tim Sanders recently had a great post on ‘payphone innovation’ at his blog, Sanders Says. Tim says that as he travels, he is always looking for innovative ways that people approach marketing and entrepreneurship. Tim writes, “When I saw this man offering his cell phone on a chain for 200 pesos (.10 US) a call, it stopped me dead in my tracks. He is a human pay phone! He wasn’t alone, there was a human pay phone on every block — just like pay phones used to be prior to the wireless revolution in telecom. And they were busy!”
What need is there in your church or community that you can meet by creating an innovative alternative like this?

I saw this is Haiti about a year ago, of all places! Maybe it would be a good idea to set outside of busy metro’s at the end of the day. Why? because that is when most people have a dead cell phone.
Innovation is relative to location hugh?
It’s the first time I hear about this, it’s so innovative!
First 200 pesos is actually $20.00. So not only is this guy ‘innovative’ but he is also an extortionist.
Secondly, does credit card tithing count?
This is a great post. Thanks for sharing it
I haven’t seen this. It’s really so innovative.
