$1 will be donated for every phone sold to www.CellForCash.com. Or, phone sellers can have their entire sales price donated

OCALA, FL (PRWEB) January 13, 2005 -- WWW.CellForCash.Com., a leading recycler and re-marketer of old cell phones, announced today that it will donate $1 for every cell phone purchased to tsunami relief charities.

Also, people who sell their old cell phones to www.CellForCash.com will have the option of having their entire sales price donated to the tsunami victims.

“People who choose this option can get full cash value for their telephone, and www.CellForCash.Com will donate $1 in their behalf to a tsunami charity,” said James Mosieur, chief executive officer of RMS Communications Group Inc., the company that operates www.CellForCash.com. “This terrible disaster may help bring us one step closer to becoming a global community.”

A page describing the tsunami relief program has already been posted on the www.CellForCash.com website. It will remain operational indefinitely, Mosieur said.

Mosieur’s company pays cash to people who offer their old phones over several company-operated websites, including www.cellforcash.com. The company goes through the old phones, makes sure they are in tip-top shape, and then re-sells them throughout the world, often in South American or Caribbean countries.

Typically, www.CellForCash.com pays between $3 and $173 for each useable phone, and will carefully recycle and dispose of phones that are unusable. Usable phones are remarketed and resold, and many phones are donated to domestic violence shelters, senior centers or other worthwhile organizations.

The tsunami struck a number of countries that border the Indian Ocean on Dec. 26. It killed more than 150,000 people and left hundreds of thousands of other people homeless.
