Drop off old cell phones to give soldiers overseas extra talk minutes

MILWAUKEE -- As the holiday season begins, help is on the way for members of our military who aren't able to get back home. Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker brings attention to a program through AT&T that will help soldiers stay connected while serving their tours.

 

Everytime you drop off your old cell phone, it provides two and a half hours of talk time for a soldier overseas.

 

Milwaukee area residents are encouraged to drop off their unwanted cell phones at any of the following eight locations from November 11, 2013 through January 11, 2014:


  • Milwaukee County War Memorial, 750 N. Lincoln Memorial, Milwaukee

  • Vetransfer, 1101 N. Market Street, Milwaukee

  • AT&T’s Glendale store, 6150 N. Port Washington Road
