Each year over 100 million people upgrade their old cell phones. Most simply toss them in a drawer and forget about them. Our mission is to maximize the benefits of retired cell phones while minimizing their environmental impact. Reusing cell phones ensures that the greatest possible value is recovered and quite literally gives old phones new life.
To that end, 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 the unexpected and urgent needs of participating law enforcement and affiliated victim services agencies.
The 911 Cell Phone Bank is an initiative of The RMS Foundation, Inc. On January 3, 2007 the RMS Foundation, Inc. received notification of approval as a 501 (c)(3) public charity. Since its inception, the 911 Cell Phone Bank has generated hundreds of thousands of dollars and provided thousands of emergency cell phones to victim services organizations nationwide. We have successfully relieved the operational burden of managing a 911 emergency cell phone program from our participants.
The 911 Cell Phone Bank is a nationwide program designed to maximize community cell phone donations. To best accomplish this the 911 Cell Phone Bank has turned to RMS Communications, one of the nation’s largest cell phone recyclers.
Since the inception of the cell phone, thousands of different models from scores of manufacturers have been produced and with each new year comes hundreds of new models. For the laymen, distinguishing the value of donated cell phones is impossible. For the experts at RMS, it's their business.
Generous donors are well wishers. Their desire is that the receiving organization gets the most value out of their donation. Our knowledge of the cell phone market allows us to determine how your cell phone donations can be maximized; providing 911 emergency cell phones and funds for participating organizations.
Please contact us if you would like to get involved or donate your cell phone.
