At AT&T, we know military families care a lot about staying connected–especially when a loved one is stationed away from home. At AT&T, we care too. And, we’re working to make a difference this holiday season a few ways:
Every time you recycle a used wireless phone with us, part of the proceeds support Cell Phones for Soldiers, a charity uses the proceeds from recycling to send free prepaid phone cards to troops overseas. Since July 2008, recycling has helped the charity send more than 350,000 free phone cards to military members away from home.
With the help of the USO, AT&T is also donating 30,000 free prepaid phone cards to the troops in Iraq, Kuwait, Afghanistan, and other overseas locations this year. These cards provide 20 minutes of free talk time from Iraq back to the U.S. as one example.
Recycling with Cell Phones for Soldiers is something that’s meaningful for the holidays– and all year long. So, we offer a few recycling options:
- We’re providing recycling drop-off spots in all 2,000-plus retail locations, nationwide – including those right here at our Clarksville AT&T store at 2560 Wilma Rudolph Blvd..
- We’re also offering free prepaid shipping labels online at www.att.com/recycle — and free, prepaid mailing envelopes in stores and online www.att.com/recycle
- You can also use att.com/recycle to find the nearest AT&T store for your drop off spot or download instructions for how to cleanse your phone of personal data.
- You can make a difference by donating used wireless phones with us – no matter what make or model or which carrier you use.
