Have a Cell Phone just laying around? Donate it to - Cell Phones for Soldiers!

Cell Phones for Soldiers was founded by teenagers Robbie and Brittany Bergquist in April of 2004 with $21 of their own money. Since then, the registered 501c3 non-profit organization has raised almost $1 million in donations and distributed more than 400,000 prepaid calling cards to sailors, soldiers, airmen and Marines serving overseas.

Here is how it works.  The cell phones collected are then sent to ReCellular, which in return pays Cell Phones for Soldiers for each donated phone.  The donation is enough to provide an hour of talk time to a military member deployed or stationed overseas.

An estimated 130 million cell phones will be replaced this year in the US.  Most of these cell phones are either thrown away or stuffed somewhere to be forgotten.  Most people have no idea what to do with their old/used cell phone.
