Motorola L7 Red a worthy cause.

This might not be everyone's favourite colour or handset, but for a basic phone it's ok and it's for a good cause too.

5% of your monthly spend using this phone will go towards fighting AIDS in Africa. The revenue share is paid to the RED charity, directly from the network. Motorola will also donate £5 for every phone sold.

It has a "special" IMEI number which enables calls to be tracked to this specific handset, so even if you buy it and sell it, the usage will be tracked and the 5% donated still.

It's a good cause and an ok phone. :T

    What is really getting on my nerves is that these phones are going for silly amounts on ebay, yet you can get the phone from tesco for £116 free p&p at the moment. Why are some people so stupid to bid so much more. Even the carphonewarehouse are doing them cheaper then what they have been going for on ebay.

    And these people on ebay also charge silly p&p.

    Sorry rant over

    personally id rather just buy a decent phone and give the £30 odd pounds straight to charity and avoid motorolas marketing ploy.
    ppl spend on average what 30 a month - works out to £23 a year to charity (inc the orig £5)
    Yes Your Dukeiness :D
