More "SMS to donate" campaigns

Ericsson using SMS Technology to aid Donations

Ericsson is aiding the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies with technology called Internet Payment Exchange, that allows anyone with a mobile telephone to make donations to the Red Cross' Tsunami disaster relief efforts in Asia, according to Asia Travel Tips.

At present the service is being rolled out to countries around the world but is currently only active in Sweden and Thailand.
