Donating Old Cell Phones

RE: Donating Old Cell Phones Post by Petfinder (14) | (05/17/2006) Contact The Furry Friends Foundation is collecting any old cell phones. If you have any old phones (even old bag phones) you'd like to donate, you can donate the phone at www.wirelessfundraiser.com - selecting Furry Friends Foundation in Chicago as your charity of choice. They will send you a pre-paid shipping box. If the phone is not one they will pay Furry Friends for, it will be donated to another charity. For example, these phones are given to homeless shelters for battered women so they may dial 911. Either way you are doing a good deed!!

All cell phones will work for dialing 911 without subscribing to a service is my understanding. Check with your local senior citizens group.
