About Secure the Call Foundation

Secure the Call Foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization with a single mission:   To provide as many 911 emergency cell phones as possible to local communities throughout the nation.

Secure the Call Foundation is a national organization that serves all 50 states.

Almost every law enforcement agency, domestic violence department and senior citizen center in the United States collects and redistributes old cell phones to those in need, but the problem for every organization is the same. You can’t simply hand out a phone that was just turned in. Work has to be done before the phone is ready to be used as a 911 emergency-use-only phone. It has to be tested, cleaned, cleared of all old numbers, programmed for 911, retested and then prepared for distribution. All of this requires time, money, equipment and skilled labor which most organizations are lacking.

That’s where Secure the Call Foundation comes in. We’re the people who do all the work. When we receive your phone, we inspect it and decide what to do with it. Some phones are used for this program, some are sent to a recycler (for proper disposal).  We put as many phones as possible back into the program.

We do all the work including the collecting the old cell phones so the organizations don’t have to. And best of all – its free to them and you. Your donations keep us running.

You can help us by donating your old cell phone. If you work in an office, we can arrange for your office to receive one of our collection boxes. We also need volunteers to help us with our program.  If you have the time, we would appreciate the help.
