Cell Phone Donations

[252yft]

I just upgraded four cell phones for my business. Three iphones and a blackberry. IIRC, I read somewhere that I can donate the used phones to our service men.

If this is true, can somebody direct me to the organization?

Google is a good friend.

I found this:

Which led to this:

Hope that helped.

Jason,

You are correct about google. However I was hoping to get real info from men who have or are currently serving. Nothing like getting real info from people in the know.

I don't trust to many organizations that claim to help while they sit down to their $100 meals and first class tix to DC for another fund raiser. I hope you understand my distrust in many of there so called "Caring Organizations" while the seem to care only about themselves.

LOL, I'll see if my chain of command knows anything.

Tried asking and I didn't get any definite response. The website I provided seemed pretty good though as one of my s1 seemed to know about it.

But yeah, nothing definite.

Thanx for your help. Guess I'll use them unless I hear from anybody else. I'll wait until the first od the year.

Again, Thank You.

Im a deployed servicemember and I sure could use a new phone...

Heck, I'll pay shipping and everything, that is, if you're offering.
