Generous Device

LinkWe all have used text messaging to simply chat, but have you ever donated money through text messaging? In the recent Haiti tragedy, Red Cross and other relief organizations have raised more than $20 million via text message donation. This makes 10% of the $210 million raised so far!
There are definitely advantages to donating via mobile phone. It's definitely the fastest way to donate internationally since you don't have to write a check and mail it. The donation you've made will be added to your next billing which is efficient.
In a time like this, I see our cellphones not just as a clever device, but more as a generous device.
