Making a donation via text message is very safe, fast, and secure, as long as you make sure to use the right address. It may take a few minutes to get the confirmation and reply messages, but don’t give up on them! The good news is that they’re collecting so many donations that it can take some time for the computers to go through them all.
I don’t know about other carriers, but AT&T is not waiting for your bill payment, but is sending your pledge to the American Red Cross immediately. So, your donation quickly reaches the people who need it.
And, it’ll show up on your statement as a charitable contribution, for those who can take advantage of that on yearly tax statements.
