[QUOTE="donna723, post: 216938, member: 1883"] [B][I]"WE pay for those minutes, and the cell phone carriers make money every month when the minutes are not used."[/I][/B] Susie, I think that's the answer right here! The cell phone companies count on it that a lot of people never use all those minutes that they contract for and then they lose them. If you contract for and pay for a certain amount of minutes every month, and then never use all those minutes, you have actually paid a higher rate for those minutes that you did use and the phone companies make more money. It's a wonderful idea. But a cell phone company would probably never go for it unless the good publicity they got for doing it outweighed the money they are making by [I]not[/I] doing it. Maybe that's how they should be approached. Wouldn't it be great if there was a list of four or five major charities like the Red Cross or Ronald McDonald House and people could choose to donate their unused minutes to one of them! [/QUOTE]
