    Can't see those handsets lasting long!
    It's a nice idea in theory, but how many people are actually going to bring a story with their donations? It kinda loses it's sentiment if it's a story about a different, albeit identical object.
    Are they going to need extra staff to police the devices? these shops can get busy enough at the best of times!

    An interesting idea, just a shame Oxfam is so expensive -often more expensive to buy items in there than it is to get them new!
