I have a very basic phone....

So I click on "new message". then type in 90999 as the recipient, then my message would be redcross?

I have only recently learned to text....my kids are so proud of me!

TIA

Type Redcross in you message box, then send to 90999. You should rec'd a message back to confirm you donation of $10. If you want to still donate you say yes.

I am trying this. If I don't hear back within 4 hours I will know I have screwed it up and will donate my usual way (snail mail).

It's very cool to learn new stuff!
