VoiceNation Participates in "Cell Phones For Soldiers"

With donations from the staff at VoiceNation, active-duty military members and veterans will receive a total of 5,235 free cell phone minutes and 19 gently-used cell phones to help them connect with their families.

VoiceNation, a preferred call center partner for thousands of businesses nationwide, recently participated in the Cell Phones for Soldiers Recycling Program within their organization in an effort to support troops and keep cell phone waste out of landfills.

According to the Cell Phones for Soldiers' fact sheet, "An estimated 100 to 130 million cell phones are no longer being used, many languishing in storage.  Recycling cell phones reduces greenhouse gas emissions, keeps valuable material out of landfills and incinerators, and conserves natural resources."
