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.

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 £3 from your mobile bill.

:beer: 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. :T :T :T

:rolleyes: Think This is a first for the charity industry.

:T That’s pretty nifty dont you think? :T
