I was curious about how this service works, mostly to know where the money is actually flowing. I Googled for awhile and came up with nothing, but thanks to randomwalker's post in this thread (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1051844 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1051844), I was able to dig up some info. I summarized what I found here: http://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/aoyin/text_haiti_to_90999_to_donate_10_through_the_red/c0iqe8k http://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/aoyin/text_haiti_t... It's not definitive, but hopefully it'll help people make a more informed judgement about using this short code for donations. p.s. this charity was mentioned on Reddit: http://www.pih.org/home.html http://www.pih.org/home.html I'd never heard of it, but the founder, Paul Farmer, has a long history of working in and for Haiti.
