7 On Your Side

Phone donations may be slow on delivering

The donations you make by texting on your cell phone have raised about $30 million so far and it seems like a quick way to give, but charities say "not really."

Phone companies usually wait until you pay your bill before they send off the donation and that can take up to three months.

The fastest way to help is with an online donation through the charity's website. Do make sure you are on a legitimate website however.
