This is really cool -- Amnesty has hooked up with "Working Assets" to create a program with 10% of your phone charges go to support AI.  They just announced today:

"Now there’s another tool in the fight for human dignity: your cell phone. Join Amnesty Wireless, our new cell phone service that supports Amnesty International, and with every call you make, 10% of your phone charges will benefit Amnesty — at no extra cost to you!"

In other news,The Consumerist  published a formula for dumping Verizon Wireless without incurring an early contract exit fee... very nice coupling of announcements... though I'm not sure I'm ready to give Verizon Wireless up for Sprint quite yet...
