From The Heart
Hey Malaysians out there, time to do our bit for the Tsunami victims! What better way to donate than deducting those extra credits from your handphone account.
To all DiGi 016 customers, DiGi is launching a SMS campaign "From The Heart" to raise funds for the victims as well as providing emotional support. The campaign is divided into 2 parts - "SMS Fund Drive" and "SMS Words of Support"
Here's what you can do. For "SMS Fund Drive", you can contribute either RM3, RM5 or RM10 by keying in the amount you wish to donate (i.e. RM3), then SMS it to 1996. You should receive a confirmation SMS from 1996, thanking you for the generous contribution. ; )
The amount you sent (including 15 cents for the SMS) will be deducted from your credit (prepaid customer) or charged to your billing account (postpaid customer).
For "SMS Words of Support", you can send in your dedication/words of comfort, which will be broadcast live on NTV7 and the DiGi website.
You will need to register by typing 'FROM (space)(username)' and sending it to 36677. Upon receiving a confirmation message, you can reply and send in messages by typing 'MSG(space)(user dedication)' and send it to the same number. Each message costs 15 cents, and must not exceed 160 characters.
DiGi has pledged to donate all the money collected, including the 15 cents charged for the SMS to those affected. The campaign ends on 14 January.
If you're a Maxis user, fret not. Maxis has set up a special SMS account to those who wish to donate to the Malaysian Tsunami Disaster Fund set up by New Straits Times, Berita Harian, TV3 and 8TV. Maxis subscribers can make a donation by sending an SMS with the words "Donate" or "Derma" to 22999.
RM1 is charged for each SMS sent, and will be forwarded to the New Straits Times. There is no limit on the number of SMS which can be sent. The donation ends 31 January.
I'm not so sure whether Celcom has set up such services for its user. Would appreciate it if any of you can post any information, should there be any.
Well, think no more. Start SMS-ing and do your part as a caring Malaysian. What is RM 1 to you compared to the victim? For you, it may be sending a few messages greeting your friends happy new year. But to those victims, it is their survival and well being we're talking about.
I've done my part by contributing RM10. It's not much, but if every mobile phone users in Malaysia donate RM10, imagine the amount of money collected. So I guess it's your turn to decide now - to donate or not.
What say you?
