According to the Miami Herald, the American Red Cross has Raised more than $24 million via Text Messages as of Monday.
Many cellphone carriers have already passed on the donations to the charities. Under normal circumstances, it could take as long as 90 days for the beneficiaries to receive the contributions because cellphone companies usually wait until they collect donations from customers via their bills before passing the money along.
In many cases, cellphone companies have also waived fees they typically charge for such donations, but check with your company to be sure.
