Celebrities including Kate Winslet, Richard E Grant and Simon Cowell have designed
special phones to raise funds for ChildLine as part of BT’s Big Listen Week (10-
16 October).
The phone creations are being showcased and auctioned online for 10
days.

The creations all take the BT Freestyle 4500 SMS as their base. Some of the phones
designed even come with a personalised answerphone message from the celebrity designer.

The BT Big Listen Week is designed to encourage more adults to listen to young children,
as well as raise funds for ChildLine. This is the third annual Big Listen Week, 
which is part of BT’s ”Am I Listening?” campaign, which has already raised more 
than £3.3 million for ChildLine.
