How much do cellphone carriers take from your donation when you "text to donate" to a charity?

How much do cellphone carriers take from your donation when you “text to donate” to a charity?

I know that on occasion these fees are waived, but how much do they normally take before that money is passed along to a charity?

Think You’re Obsessed With Your Phone? Wait Til You See What This Kid Did For His.

While on a fishing trip with his friends, a German teen dropped his smartphone into the pond where he and his pals were trying to catch a scaley trophy. When the boy realized his prized possession was submerged, he jumped into “idiot teen thinking mode” and made a rash decision.

If it wasn’t obvious… he decided to try and drain the pond.

YSK you can activate your Sprint locked phone/save a lot of money on your cellphone bill

YSK you can activate your Sprint locked phone/save a lot of money on your cellphone bill

I bought an iPhone (on a 2-year contract) at Sprint, and 1 year later I noticed that my bill was only getting bigger every month. I was frustrated and terminated the contract, as a lot of people know, none of the other carriers allow you to use a unlocked Sprint phones, it's just impossible to unlock it; Therefore, I needed to look for a way to use my iPhone without having to buy another one to use at a certain carrier, so I was searching and I found this carrier who actually works with Sprint locked phones (as long as their IMEI and ESN are clean) and realized that I would be saving a lot of money since they only charge you for what you use. Here's their table of rates: http://cl.ly/image/1m3W2Q190n3B I been using their service for 2 months and it's not bad, I believe they use the same cellular towers as AT&T, Verizon and Sprint and it has coverage pretty much everywhere (I live in Easton, Connecticut). For those of you who have a Sprint locked device and couldn't activate them on any other carrier you should definitely try Ting, and those who already have a locked device Ting is also a great option because in a month you'll see how much you'll save, compared to companies like AT&T, Verizon and Sprint.

They have more information on their website: Ting

If you're certain that you're switching or activating your device at Ting, here's a link that will give you $ 25 dollars in credit (to me this is like a month of cellphone usage, but it can be a good discount if you're buying a phone or when buying their SIM Card) I bet you'll save a lot of money like I did, and you'll be able to activate your Sprint device too, so… give it a try!

LPT - If you need to send your cellphone in for warranty repair, ask for a credit to your account for the amount of time you went without a phone.

LPT – If you need to send your cellphone in for warranty repair, ask for a credit to your account for the amount of time you went without a phone.

I work for a nationwide pre-paid company, and we do this for frustrated customers all the time. If your phone glitches out/stops working, and you have to mail it in for warranty, that means you went without a phone for however long it took (typically anywhere from 5-15 business days).

Once you get your replacement phone back, call customer service (611, no matter what carrier you have) and explain that since you were without service for X amount of days due to something outside of your control, you would like a pro-rated credit.

A lot of people thought this was a great idea in another thread so I thought I would make it's own post. It's a great way to avoid getting your phone stolen and you still get to be a nice person. If the person disagrees about you holding the phone while they talk on speaker phone then obviously making that phone call isn't in their best interest or isn't urgent enough. Edit- As always offering the 50 cents it takes to make a phone call using a payphone should be your first choice.
