I received a plastic bag with this website and info on it with a clothing order last week. By donating your old cell phones to this charity, they can buy calling cards for U.S. Soldiers. ;D www.cellphonesforsoldiers.com/ |

Yes, both are great uses for old phones. I'm still using my original phone because I'm afraid I'll never figure out a newer model.

I know exactly what you mean Nova, it's a challenge to learn new ones, since they're attempting to make them like mini computers. I had to change mine out because of no battery recovery & then they don't make the batteries for that model anymore. Good idea for old cell phones.  |

LOL. Never thought of that. I think the phones would be discouraged while on duty, Karm

My company sells cars to the military and you wouldn't believe how much downtime some of them have. You'd be surprised. We have customers in Iraq, Dubai, UK, Germany, Okinawa and they're always wondering about their cars. You'd think they'd have other stuff to worry about. But I wouldn't think it would be funny though. Just think what they're doing over there for us. |
