Cell Phones for Soldiers / Help Our Troops Call Home

Cell Phones for Soldiers
MISSION:  Help our troops call home

I heard about this organization a few weeks ago.  What a practical way to show our thanks to the military overseas serving and protecting our country.  You can donate a phone and/or money, print shipping labels and erase your cell phone data from the website at the informational link below.  The Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays are approaching and soldiers love to hear the voices of their loved ones during these times.  Donate to this worthy cause today.


How it works:

Cell Phones for Soldiers hopes to turn old cell phones into more than 12 million minutes of prepaid calling cards for U.S. troops stationed overseas in 2008. To do so, Cell Phones for Soldiers expects to collect 50,000 cell phones each month through a network of more than 3,000 collection sites across the country.

The phones are sent to ReCellular, which pays Cell Phones for Soldiers for each donated phone – enough to provide an hour of talk time to soldiers abroad.

Donate A Phone
It's simple and FREE! Every phone you donate will help increase the amount of talk time we're able to provide to our troops!
When donating your cell phone(s), please keep in mind:

• You can help the charity even more by applying your own postage.
If you pay for the postage, we can put more money toward calling cards for our troops!

• Donated cell phones are sold to a company that recycles them.
The money we receive from recycling cell phones is used to purchase calling cards that we send to troops in need.

• Minimize weight and save on postage by mailing cell phones only.
Batteries, chargers and accessories are not required but gladly accepted.
