Pre-paid phone cards wanted for soldiers

Cell Phones for Soldiers is a nonprofit organization that was started by two Norwell, Mass., teenagers to help buy pre-paid calling cards to send to servicemen and women overseas.

The Nashua representative hopes Mailbag readers will help answer the call for phones!

Help them call home

“Cell Phones for Soldiers has raised close to $1 million and has sent more than 75,000 pre-paid calling cards to our service people since the organization was started in April 2004,” writes Nashua-area representative Pat H. of Nashua (LTR 2,093). “In addition to calling cards, Cell Phones for Soldiers is now sending video phones to units in the Middle East and to their home base, as well, so families are able to see each other as they talk. The phone and service are provided free to service people and their families.
“The program will accept any model or make of phone; it doesn’t need to be working. The phones will be recycled . . . to purchase cards or unlimited free video phone calls. You may drop off phones and attached batteries, as well as accessories.”
