UK charities will receive the full amount when donors give £1 or more via Vodafone’s five digit short code numbers. Donors will still pay their standard SMS rate to make the donation. This is fantastic news and congratulations to Vodafone UK for leading the way on this.
Now it is time for all other networks to follow suit, and not just in the UK but also in Ireland. If you agree with me then sign this petition.

I am honestly overwhelmed that so many of you have joined me in asking for this change. It is clear that we all agree charities should keep every cent of what people generously give. I am currently looking into the best way to get this request in front of the other network providers so they can see that people really do care about this.

I am honestly a bit overwhelmed by the way people have latched onto this idea. This momentum belongs entirely to the people who recognize that every penny should go where it is needed most.

About time all the big networks got on board with this. greedy to take a cent from a donation.
Standard practice should be 100 percent going to the charity. Anything less feels like theft.
Good work Vodafone. Now come on the rest of you networks dont be tight.
I stopped texting to donate because I hate knowing some of the money goes to the phone company. Fix this.
YES! PLEASE MAKE THIS HAPPEN EVERYWHERE. O2 and Three need to step up right now.

Its about time the companies stopped taking a cut of charity money. Why should they profit off of peoples generosity?
