Cell phone providers charge much more. 100% of your $10 donation passes thru to RedCross for Haiti relief. Your cell carrier keeps nothing. http://twitter.com

Right.. for those curious why this makes sense for carriers. Just think how much carriers charge for txting. Anything that gets people using SMS is a win in their book.

  It's just advertising/goodwill.

  I suppose texting doesn't really cost the carriers anything. So why shouldn't they for once just decide to give it away for a good cause? Don't they also allow emergency calls for free? (Could be state regulation, but still).
