Two teens started the Cell Phones for Soldiers program when they learned that one soldier's phone bill climbed to a whopping $8,000 as he stayed in touch with his family. Robbie and Brittany Bergquist wanted a way for soldiers to be able to call home and stay in touch with thier loved ones at little or no cost.
What they thought would only be a statewide program, turned into a national and even international effort. People drop off their unwanted cell phones at any of AT&T's 1,800 locations throughout the U.S. The phones are sold, and then the money is turned into phone cards for the soldiers.
The brother-sister combo are surprised about how much their program has grown, and they are loving every minute of being able to help out such a worthy cause. Especially during the holiday season, they say it's really important for a soldier to be able to call home.
You can drop off your cell phones at the Sherman AT&T store, or many other AT&T locations throughout Texoma.
