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!
I just recieved a confirmation text and replied yes.
I am now an old liberal lady armed with new technological weapons.
