Are you running low on talk time? Routinely going over your monthly minutes? Putting off important calls until nights and weekends kick in? Let me be of service.
In conjunction with The Work Office, a modern day WPA initiative, I’m offering you a phone call on me. Next week, I will be stationing myself in Brooklyn and Manhattan, equipped with a cell phone, a call log and over 1,000 rollover minutes. You’re invited to call whomever, wherever, whyever, for up to 30 minutes (some restrictions apply*), completely for free.
Appointments are currently being offered July 13 - 15 (Mon. - Wed.) between the hours of 1:00 pm and 7:00 pm. I will be in Brooklyn on Monday, Brooklyn and Lower Manhattan on Tuesday, and Times Square on Wednesday. To set up a call time, or for more information, please e-mail Drayton Hiers at usemyphone@gmail.com
* All dialed numbers must be within the United States. All dialed numbers must be toll free. You may use a calling card to call abroad, as long as the access number is a national number.

A little more info:
The Work Office (TWO) is a multidisciplinary art project disguised as an employment agency. Informed by the Works Progress Administration (WPA) of the Great Depression in the 1930s, TWO is a gesture to “make work” for visual and performing artists, writers, and others by giving them simple, idea-based assignments to explore, document, or improve life in New York.
Use My Phone is a service oriented project which seeks to offer New Yorkers a simple gift: free talk time. In making use of a resource that would otherwise go to waste - unused cell phone minutes - Use My Phone is a way to create a new form of interaction in this city, as well as to blur the boundaries between public and private possessions.
