The draw is now closed, the money counted and all I can say is wow!

We didn’t just beat our £1500 target, we shot past it. In total Mobile Industry Review readers have donated £2059.96 to NSPCC Childline and the UN Foundation in a mix of £, Ã¢â€šÂ¬ and $ – this is equivalent to keeping a Childline workers taking calls from children desperate for help for over 100 hours. Yesterday saw an absolute flood of donations.

We’ll be drawing names for the prize winners later today and e-mailing winners directly – watch out for next week’s show to see some of the action.

Thanks to all the donors and to the excellent firms who supported us by donating prizes including:
