Text the keyword to the specified donation number.
To donate, text the keyword to the specified donation number. Follow the prompts and instructions in your response and provide your payment details securely via text. Confirm that you've made a donation, then finalize it by replying "Yes" or "No." You'll receive a confirmation message for your donation within minutes of sending it.
Follow the prompts and instructions in the response.
Once you've sent your text, the donor will receive a response back from UNICEF donation. The first thing they'll tell you is to be patient and wait for their next message. This may take some time—it's normal for donors to try a few different ways of messaging before they finally get through!
Don't try to text back and forth with your donor or send any other messages (like "I'm ready!") until after all of this has happened, so that there isn't any confusion about what was said or done in the past conversations between them.
Provide your payment details securely via text.
Don't use your real name.
Don't use your phone number or email address.
Don't use your address, password, or social media account to donate (even if it's a different one). These are all legitimate ways for someone to get access to your personal information and then steal from you!
Don't include any other personal information in the text message either—for example: don’t say "please" after every sentence; keep it short and simple; make sure that there aren’t extra spaces between words; etcetera…
Confirm the donation amount and finalize the transaction.
You're almost done. Now you can confirm that your donation has been successfully sent by entering a few details into our secure transaction system:
Confirm the donation amount and finalize the transaction.
Enter in any additional information required to complete this transaction (e.g., name and email address).
Confirm that you want to send an SMS message instead of sending an online form.
Once done, click 'send'. You will receive a receipt from us within 48 hours after submitting your request for donations via text message or phone call on +65 6227 7777 or +65 6722 9888 (Monday-Friday 9am-5pm).
Receive a confirmation message for your donation.
When you text a donation, we will send you a confirmation message with the details of your donation. This includes:
The amount of money that has been donated
The date and time of your donation (including time zone)
The mobile number of the donor who made the contribution in question (if applicable)
The confirmation message also contains links to UNICEF's website where more information about their work can be found.
Ensure your mobile carrier supports text donations.
Text donations are only available on certain mobile carriers and devices. To ensure your text donation reaches UNICEF donation receipt, make sure you're using a phone that supports text donations on the carrier where you're sending the text.
If you have questions about whether or not your device's software can send texts or read them, contact your mobile carrier for more information.
Standard text messaging rates may apply.

Texting isn't free. Most cell phone providers charge for all their services, including text messaging, even if you don't use them much at all. This is why it's important to look into how much your provider charges and how much the UNICEF donation will cost you in total over time (including fees) before making a decision on whether or not texting is worth it for this purpose.
Texting isn't instantaneous nor secure—and neither are any other forms of communication via mobile devices or computers! You should also consider whether or not sending an encrypted message would be appropriate because some people prefer privacy over security when sending sensitive information such as credit card numbers through smartphones or laptops."
Keep the confirmation message for your records.
The confirmation message is a receipt that you can use to confirm your donation.
You'll receive this response when you send money through PayPal, check out our website or mobile app, or make a credit card donation online. The confirmation message will include details about the transaction, such as the amount and date of payment sent by you and how much was received from UNICEF.

You can easily text a donation by simply entering the amount to donate and using your mobile phone number.
Your donation will go directly from your mobile phone to our account, in less than 24 hours (usually within 15 minutes). No more mailing envelopes or waiting for checks to clear!
The text message cannot be traced back to you, so it's safe for you and our donors alike!
Texting helps us keep track of where our money goes, because we don't have any paper trails left behind when we send out emails or snail-mail letters asking people for donations—only digital ones on their phones. This makes sure that none of those old-fashioned methods are used anymore: no more lost papers lying around somewhere; no more embarrassing moments when someone gets caught stealing cash from an envelope full of checks that they forgot about until later...
Conclusion
We hope that these tips have been helpful and that you are now better equipped to make a donation via text message. Don't forget to reference them when you approach your carrier to establish whether they support text donations, as well as any other questions or concerns regarding this method of giving. As always, thank you for supporting UNICEF!
