WE NEED YOUR
OLD CELL PHONE

Donate your cell phone now





In May of 2004, the 911 Cell Phone Bank was created to provide an ongoing and readily available source of 911 emergency cell phones and funds to meet unexpected and urgent needs of participating law enforcement and affiliated victims services agencies.

Since then, the 911 Cell Phone Bank has generated hundreds of thousands of dollars and provided thousands of emergency cell phones for victims services organizations nationwide. We have successfully relieved the operational burden of managing a 911 emergency cell phone program from our participants.  In January of 2007, the 911 Cell Phone Bank, as an initiative of the RMS Foundation, obtained status as a 501(c)3 public charity.

By donating your cell phone you are doing more than just providing emergency communications for someone in
need.  In addition, you are helping to provide funds that support the activities of law enforcement and victims services organizations nationwide.

The 911 Cell Phone Bank determines best use and maximizes cell phone donations.


* Funds are provided to nonprofit agencies for each donated cell phone (market value, minimum 50 cents),
* Each cell phone is added to the “Bank” of available 911 emergency cell phones for law enforcement.
