Charity Donation by Text Message - How?

Options
I have a PAYG sim card with a small amount of credit that I'd like to donate to charity. I've been googling how to do it for the last 30 minutes with no luck. I've fathomed out that I text a code and the amount I wish to donate but I can't find any codes on the JustGiving pages I've been looking at.

Here's the JG page for Stephen Sutton as an example, the page has raised £££££ and over £1,200 by text donations alone, I'd love to add to the fund but how?

Here's Stephen's page https://www.justgiving.com/stephen-sutton-tct/ so you can see what I mean.

Thanks

  • Thank you for the link. I had already seen that. What I'm after is the code so I can donate by text message which I can't find on any JustGiving pages and I've looked at a dozen or so.

    ^^

    It's done through premium rate SMS, part of which is then donated to the charity. I believe up to 97%, but don't quote me on this.

    Don't know the answer to that, can only tell you how it works from very limited knowledge.
