Donate – Cell Phones For Soldiers

Donate Cell Phones to Support Active Military and Veterans

Cell Phones For Soldiers is an initiative dedicated to supporting our nation’s heroes — active military members and veterans by providing crucial communication services and emergency financial aid to those who have served our country.

Donate Your Phones: Every donated phone helps bridge the communication gap for military personnel and supports the complex needs of veterans transitioning back to civilian life. By donating your old cell phones, you provide them with the means to stay connected with their loved ones, seek employment, and access vital resources.

Pre-Shipping Steps

Backup Your Data

Take a moment to backup anything you would like to save such as photos, videos, and contacts. This information will be lost when we erase the phone.

Turn Off “Find My iPhone”

If you are donating an iPhone 4 or newer, remember to turn off Find My iPhone and sign out of iCloud. If you are donating a google phone, please remove your google account.

Erase All Data

If your phone or smartphone has a SIM card, please remove it priot to donating. Search your make and model for “factory reset”. If you cannot reset your device, don’t worry. We follow the Department of Defense standards for wiping hard drives and devices.

Print a Shipping Label

If you are shipping 10 or more phones, smartphones, or devices – print a paid shipping label by clicking the prepaid button below. If you are donating less than 10, please help CPFS by paying for your own shipping with the self-paid label, as shipping is our largest expense. Click here to access the shipping label.

Print a Battery Warning Label

Due to federal shipping regulations, you must print a battery warning label for each package and affix to the outside of the box. Click here to access the battery warning label.

Package Carefully and Ship

Place the phones, smartphones, and devices flat across the bottom of the box or padded envelope and layer with newspaper or bubblewrap to avoid damage. Affix postage or a prepaid waybill in order for your package to reach us.
