Sponsor a line

A number costs about $1.15 a month to keep, plus a few cents a minute. Five dollars a month keeps one line alive and answered, for somebody who cannot pay for it.

Where the money goes

ItemRough cost
One phone number, held for a year~$14
Voice, 60 minutes of calls~$0.51
Texts, 100 messages~$0.79
One sponsored line, per month$5

Sponsorship is line-item, not a slogan: every sponsored extension is accounted for against real provider charges.

Three ways to help

Sponsor one person

$5 a month. We will tell you the extension you are keeping alive โ€” not the person's name, unless they agree.

Sponsor a block

Agencies, churches and food banks: 10 extensions for $50 a month, with a referral sheet your staff can hand out.

Give an old phone

A working Android phone with a charger becomes a phone again, with a softphone already set up. See the refurbishing note below.

Volunteer a skill

Help at a phone-refurbishing afternoon, or translate the sign-up page into French, Arabic, Somali or Mandarin.

Talk to a person

Email admin@xfast.top with sponsor in the subject, and say whether you want a single line, a block, or to be listed publicly. Nothing is charged automatically, and nothing renews without you saying so.

For agencies: if you would rather refer clients than send money, that works too. Send us a name and an extension is created the same day, on a sponsored line, with a PIN your client can keep.
