A few delegates bought mobile SIM cards as it was cheaper than roaming with their phones. Someone wanted to know how to avoid the SIMs ending up in the landfill.

== Possible solution - Donate SIM to Charity ==
There are charities in NZ that have asked for mobile phone donations. When asked, they said they would accept SIM donations.

Charity: [http://www.2shine.org.nz/ shine*]

Address: shine*, P O Box 90279, Victoria Street West, Auckland 1142, New Zealand.

'''About shine*'s request for donation.'''

shine*, New Zealand’s largest domestic violence agency, is appealing for working
mobile phones to give to high risk women who have no access to a landline or a
mobile phone of their own. A new SIM card is provided to access either the
shine* helpline or emergency services.

[http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/AK1001/S00109.htm Press release with request for phone donation]

If you decide to donate your NZ SIM to shine*, please ensure there is '''at least $2''' balance on it.

How to submit:
* Send to '''shine*, P O Box 90279, Victoria Street West, Auckland 1142, New Zealand.
'''
* Pass it to Lin Nah, who will deliver it to shine* in Auckland.
** I'll be around at Open Day
** If you see this before 9am 23 Jan (and are staying at ustay), slip it under the door of room 501.
** I'll leave ustay at around 3pm. I'll try to ask the reception if they will accept "notes for me. Either they will or they won't. Will update this later today.
