The EZ help Cell phone project was started by the Anoka Council of Pioneers.
Used Cell phones are collected from the public. Usually by placing donation boxes
around the community. Also working with local police or sheriffs departments or county
social services agency's can increase participation.
Large businesses, colleges, or schools can be an excellent source for collecting the used cellular phones.
Once the phones are collected they need to be tested and deprogrammed of customer specific information.
We then program the phones so that they are only able to make 911 emergency calls.
Once the programming is done you may choose your own method of distributing the phones to the
elderly or needy clients.
