How do I Text a Donation for a Natural Disaster Like Haiti, Chile, or Sumatra Quake from a Cell Phone

Depending on the type of cell phone plan or calling plan that you have on your smart phone or cell phone, you can text a donation to the victims of Earthquakes, Hurricanes, Typhoons, Tsunamis, Tornadoes, or Floods. In fact, millions of people did just that after the Haiti Disaster and it is was a huge success raising $30 million in donations in a very short amount of time.

If you are on the Sprint Network have a prepaid plan, you can even use your mobile-phone account to text a donation which will appear will be deducted from your prepaid phone account. Other major networks and cell phone carriers like AT&T, Verizon, and others will add your donation to your cell phone bill. Some have limits to how much you can donate by text messaging, but that is okay. You see, it is the numbers these non-profits are after. Even if everyone just gave a few dollars, it adds up fast.

Perhaps, this is why Hollywood got involved, and the first lady asking people to donate through texting their gifts (text money) directly to where it would be needed most? Virgin Mobile USA supports text donations, but some carriers do not. MGive is a company that supports texting donations;

There are some other companies out there, and this is why you should get text messaging with your cell phone calling plan, just in case you wish to make a donation and be part of something larger than yourself. Namely, the relief efforts to help those who have no way to help themselves, so, please consider all this.
