Amnesty International Cellular Service

Amnesty International Cellular Service 2
If you’re trying to clear your conscience – perhaps you hit a small dear or squirrel on your way to the office today – then you might want to consider donating a portion of your cell phone bill. Amnesty International plans to roll out their own cellular service. For $29.99 you’ll get 200 anytime minutes, and free night and weekends. You’re probably scratching your head and thinking “why the hell would I pay $30 for 200 minutes when T-Mob gives me 600 minutes for $35.99?�. For the good of humanity of course. The lack of minutes means they can donate 10% of your payments to charity. Included in the 2 year agreement (I almost called it a ‘deal’…laughable) is an LG 225 camera phone (think pics of 3rd world children when, and if you visit), ear piece and car charger. “Car charger� exclaims one reader! There’s also some part of the bill that includes Citizen Action Alerts where you can reach out to “targeted decision makers�. This last part is unclear, but just take pride in knowing every minutes is a minute well spent, especially when your calling gramps and supporting a small 3rd world orphan all in a few key strokes.
