In an effort to assist victims of the recent devastating earthquake in Haiti, Docomo Pacific is announcing that its customers will be able to donate funds by texting to 42484 (HAITI) on their Docomo Pacific phones. This fundraising program will run from Jan. 19 through Feb. 15 for both prepaid and postpaid Docomo Pacific customers.

By texting to 42484 on their cell phones, donors will be giving $5 per text to the relief fund. This charge will be deducted from the subscribers load value for prepaid customers. For postpaid customers, the charge will appear on their bills. Customers may text as many times as they like.

All texting funds collected will be donated to the Saipan chapter of the American Red Cross who has already initiated donations and a local fund drive for the people of Haiti.
