Donate to American Red Cross

Looks like the US wireless carriers have finally caught up with the rest of the world. You can now donate to the Katrina relief efforts by SMS directly from your Palm Treo 650 smartphone or any mobile phone.

* Cingular Wireless sent a text message to every subscriber asking if they would like to donate US$1.99. Simply reply with yes to donate.
* Verizon Wireless, Sprint Nextel and ALLTEL customers can make a US$5 donation by sending the text message “give” to the number “24357″ (2GIVE).

Every little bit helps. I presume that the amount will be added to your monthly bill.

You can also donate via credit card directly to the American Red Cross. Minimum contribution is US$5.
