How to Get Cash For Old Cell Phones to Benefit Your Charity or Cause

Tuesday, January 8th, 2008

If you’re working on raising money for your favorite charity or cause, you’ve probably tried all the normal ways of raising money ? phone calls, direct mail, and so on. But everybody does that, so you have lots of competition. With so much competition for orthodox ways of raising funds, why not try something a bit different?

Collecting old cell phones is one of those “different” fundraising methods that you may want to try. Many people have old cell phones lying around or packed away somewhere. Chances are they would be more than happy to give their old cell phones to you to benefit a good cause. You just need to ask!

What kind of money can you get for a used cell phone? I’m going to be honest with you: you probably won’t be raising a considerable amount with every cell phone you collect and sell. The average per phone is about $5-$10. (Some cell phones are worth $0.50, some are worth $100+)Read More On How to Get Cash For Old Cell Phones to Benefit Your Charity or Cause

Blackberry 8800

Sunday, December 16th, 2007

Blackberry 8800 is the latest on the line of RIM smart phones - feature rich and visually and functionally inspiring. It is also the thinnest Blackberry handset yet. Going straight into its specifications, the Blackberry 8800 comes equipped with a QWERTY keyboard - unlike Blackberry Pearl - and a trackball navigation system. It appears that Blackberry had finally come into terms with the fact that joysticks are not great devices for navigational purposes, especially to zip through a phone menu. The QWERTY keyboard can be a bit confusing in the beginning, but as the user starts typing on it, gradually he/she will get used to it.

If there is another major difference between Blackberry 8800 and the Pearl, then it is the absence of the camera. Blackberry has dispensed with the camera in 8800 for a more reliable feature, the GPS, to track down roaming business users and devices. Even though, the Blackberry 8800 does not have Google Maps in it, the bundled TeleNav GPS Navigator does an exceptional job in giving the user the right directions always. The local search function also works very well.
