Cellcom to launch SMS blood donor drive
Due to shortage of blood, Magen David Adom, Israel's official emergency blood bank, asked mobile operator Cellcom yesterday to send an urgent SMS to all subscribers, asking them to donate blood. This is the first time that SMS was used to deliver an emergency message, according to Globes Online.
