In addition, the Samsung Evergreen Smartphone features eco-oriented wallpaper and ringtones.
Cell Phones for Soldiers
To celebrate the launch of the Samsung Evergreen Smartphone from AT&T, Samsung Mobile announced it will donate $1 for every Samsung Evergreen phone sold, with a maximum donation of $100,000, to the non-profit organization cell phones for soldiers. Cell Phones for Soldiers was founded by teenagers Robbie and Brittany Bergquist from Norwell, Mass, with $21 of their own money. Since then, the registered 501 non-profit organization has raised millions of dollars in donations and distributed millions of prepaid calling cards to soldiers serving overseas. Samsung Mobile and AT&T encourage consumers to give back to both the environment and to the armed forces serving overseas.
AT&T cell phone recycling
In 2009, AT&T collected more than 4.2 million cell phones for reuse and recycling and over 1.8 million pounds of batteries and accessories. AT&T offers customers three ways to donate old cell phones and accessories: drop-off bins in our 2,000-plus retail locations; free, prepaid mailing envelopes available in the stores; and postage-paid mailing labels available via our web site at AT&T Reuse & Recycle.
