Using Mobile PAYG Balance to Donate to Charity
Posted: Mon Oct 30, 2023 1:15 pm
Top tip:
If you are changing your mobile phone provider and have a PAYG balance left on your phone that you will lose when you move provider, rather than simply losing the balance you could instead consider donating the balance to a charity.
For example, we had €40 balance left on a CYTA PAYG and have just donated this balance to PASYCAF. To donate via text/SMS you just need to text PASYCAF 5 to 7060. This will donate €5 from your balance to PASYCAF. There is no charge for the text. You can do this multiple times a day. It also works with PASYCAF 1 and PASYCAF 3 to donate €1 and €3 respectively.
Other local charities may have a similar scheme.
Every little helps and this seems a better option than simply losing your balance to the phone provider you are moving away from.
