I have six or seven old cell phones, can they be of use to someone else? Or should I toss them in the trash?

Do NOT dump in trash. Here is a page with drop off points in Mississippi where the phones are reprogramed and donated to domestic violence agencies in your area to give to women at risk.

I've given my old phones to local Womens centers. They get them activated as 911 only phones and give to women in dangerious situations.

Thank you! I will erase my information on them and donate them. I wasn't sure they could be used or activated again. I have at least 6...now to find the chargers..
