UPDATE: It seems like Verizon and Sprint are also offering FREE calls and texts too… I’d call to confirm!
Way to go AT&T! Now through March 31, 2011, AT&T customers can call and send texts to Japan for FREE to check up on loved-ones and so on.
Postpaid customers will not pay for:
- International long distance usage from the United States and Puerto Rico to Japan
- Text messages to Japan, originated from a U.S. wireless number
“We want to help our customers connect with loved ones in Japan in anyway we can,” said Mark Collins, senior vice president, Voice and Data Products, AT&T Mobility and Consumer Markets. “Connecting with family and friends is most important at times like this— we want to make it as easy and worry free as possible for our customers.” Details can be found here!
I’m praying for everyone effected by this disaster.
