Call to Protect
January 30th, 2008 . by adminThe Wireless Foundation’s Call to Protect program collects old, refurbished phones for victims of domestic violence who use the phones in an emergency or for a reverse cell phone search.

When Japanese wireless service provider NTT DoCoMo (DCM) introduced a wrist-watch phone from Seiko last May, it sold out its inventory of 1,000, priced at more than $300 each, within 20 minutes.
