A question about : i wanna donate to charity using sms
Hi
i hav lots of easy mobile /o2 sms & would like to give some of my credit to charity you know the kind of thing where you text a number & give Ј1 or something similar
any ideas?
Best answers:
- There are some charities that accept text donations. before you do it, can I just check that you know that the cost of the SMS usually goes to your service provider, and that the donation then comes off your credit/is added to your bill.
Usually the company that manages the system takes a cut too. - I was after the same thing... any numbers?
- Breast Cancer Care
Text ‘Pink’ to 83338 to download your very own pink ribbon*.
Every pink ribbon downloaded
will mean a valuable Ј1.50 donation to Breast Cancer Care,
plus it will cost you the usual cost of your text message.
*You will need to ensure that your WAP browser is on and
that your phone has colour and MMS capability. - Macmillan Cancer Support now uses WAP
to increase donation revenue,
Here’s how it works.
You donate money by sending SUPPORT to 85222
which then takes Ј3 from your mobile bill.
All straight so far. However: -
Once the donation has been made a WAP Push message is sent
to the donors phone asking them to go online
to a Macmillan-branded Mobile Internet Gift Aid form
where they can confirm they are a taxpayer,
This allows Macmillan to claim an additional 28% from HM Revenue & Customs.
:rolleyes: Think This is a first for the charity industry.
That’s pretty nifty dont you think? - Found a few more;

https://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en...UK%7CcountryGB - The Down Syndrome Educational Trust
To donate Ј3 to downsed, text DOW to 84858*
*Messages charged at standard rate. You will receive two confirmation messages, charged at Ј1.50 each. downsed will receive the donation net of charges applied by mobile network operators and a processing fee - hi. posted this in another thread aswell but i am eager for an answer.
well i sent 4 texts to the Poppy appeal last night so thought i had given £6.00. checked my easy online balance today to find the 4 texts had cost me a total of 40p.
i couldnt download whatever it was they were trying to send me, but i had assumed they would get their money!!
any advice? - come on guys, lets get this one going.
i have now tried to donate Ј6.00 to the Poppy appeal and Ј3.00 to the Yorkshire air Ambulance. neither has worked and i am trying to use up my Easy Mobile credits (about Ј120.00 worth).
can can we get this thread rolling on who has actually donated successfully using Easy without the need for autotopup or anything else.
times running out, and i would hate the credits to be wasted. - These ones might work for charity text donations?
The Down Syndrome Educational Trust (which Rogerb above said was collected okay) and the others below; all seem to use the same number 84858 (with a different text message to identify each charity obviously - so if one works then all of them should be okay?)
I tried sightsavers and it did not work either but Sightsavers, Poppy Appeal and some of the others use a different number to 84858, perhaps that's why they didn't work?
Try The Down Syndrome Educational Trust or one of the other ones below which all use 84858?
