I thought this was a great way to raise funds quickly and efficiently during a national or global crisis, such as the Haiti quake relief which we both donated to using our individual cellphone numbers.
However, and I hope someone from the organization will read this, not all of us have unlimited text accounts, and we conservatively use texting for family, as we have to stay within our monthly allotment.
Now, from what I understand, these types of messages are called "premium" messages, and do get charged against our monthly text allotment.
I called our carrier, and the CSR put a block on both our phones to prevent future messages from being received and charged against our phones' text allotment.
So, if anyone from the organization is reading this, know that I don't mind receiving your message(s) as long as -you- are paying for it. Otherwise, you should provide an option at the point of donation to accept or decline future messages from your organization, and not presume that it's okay to send us messages from then on.
The CSR with our carrier said that such "premium" messages are sent periodically, and that enrollment is automatic with most organizations of this type, and others that she was prohibited from naming due to some sort of confidentiality agreements with those organizations. The only choice from my carrier was to continue to receive these premium messages, or have them all blocked. (I blocked.)
Sorry mGive; can't afford to receive your message(s), and now I can't donate by text because of the block.
