The fees are high, no doubt about that, but it's almost a given with SMS payment gateways.
My main issue with them, is the delay for withdrawing any funds from the account.
With donations, it's impossible for them to differentiate commercial/non-commercial payments unless you have a registered charity number. Of course, you could contact them directly for more details about that.
Personally, I use PayGol, who seem a lot more co-operative on the support side of things, and aren't too draconian on funds.
If I were you, I'd try and persuade potential donating users to purchase a Pre-Paid Debit Card, and use that through PayPal.
Sure, it's more of a hassle for them, but I'm confident they'd be happier knowing that more of their money goes directly towards the server.
