How to Donate Phones to the Troops

If you're looking to get a new cell phone, and you're not sure of what to do with your old one, consider donating it to Cell Phones for Soldiers. The charity will sell your used cell phone to ReCellular, who will then recycle the phone. Cell Phones for Soldiers then takes the proceeds and purchases calling cards for our troops, so they are able to keep in contact with their loved ones back home. This is an easy way to show appreciation and give something back to
our troops.
