A lot of people have been reporting that donations made through text messages can take up to 90 days to register. For people trying to donate money to aid the people of Haiti, that’s just way too late. In today’s episode of The Rachel Maddow Show I learned that Verizon and Sprint have stepped things up to get the money to the people that need it now. Maddow reported that Verizon will make 100 percent of the funds available immediately, while Sprint will make 80 percent of the funds available. She mentioned that AT&T is examining ways to expedite things, but offered no word on T-Mobile.
