We’ve stashed away a load of handsets and accessories over the last few months and will be giving them away in a draw on the 10th December… just in time for Christmas.  So what’s going on?

This time around we won’t be picking winners from the site’s comments.  Instead we’re running a draw.  Entry to the draw is in exchange for a donation divided between Mobile Industry Review’s two chosen charities - the UK-based Childline and the UN Foundation (winners of a Mobile Industry Review award) which operates internationally.

Each donation of £5 / $10 gets you one chance to win a prize from the list - you can donate as much  as you like.  Individuals and companies can participate and we’ll publish your name if you share your details with us.

FAQ

Why are you doing this?
We promise to keep giving everything we can away in the new year, but wanted to support these two excellent charities who use mobile and telecoms technology daily to make a huge difference in people’s lives across the globe.  We know many of our readers don’t celebrate Christmas, but it seemed like a good excuse for some long-overdue support for two excellent causes.  We hope you agree.

[UPDATED] Why have you changed the donation process?
Rules regarding raffles vary between countries so to ensure everyone could participate we now refer donors directly to the charities.  This also allows tax-efficient giving where local authorities provide such schemes.
Money donated using the previous process will be distributed equally between the charities as planned.
