Cell phones for soldiers campaign
Cell phones for soldiers program - With the mission to help US troops to call home, Cell Phones For Soldiers provides a service that makes the US troops overseas stay connected to their families.
By cell phone recycling program, which expected to collect 50,000 cell phones each month through a network of more than 3,000 collection sites across the country, 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.
And how it works? by sent the cell phones to ReCellular, which pays Cell Phones for Soldiers for each donated phone – enough to provide an hour of talk time to soldiers abroad.
“Americans will replace an estimated 130 million cell phones this year,” says Mike Newman, vice president of ReCellular, “with the majority of phones either discarded or stuffed in a drawer. Most people don’t realize that the small sacrifice of donating their unwanted phones can have a tremendous benefit for a worthy cause like Cell Phones for Soldiers.”
