For
current T-Mobile customers who are trying to connect with loved ones in
Haiti during the aftermath of the country's devastating earthquake,
T-Mobile USA is enabling phone calls to Haiti without charges for
international long distance through January 31, 2010, and retroactive
to the earthquake on January 12, 2010.
Additionally, T-Mobile customers
who may already be in Haiti will be able to roam on T-Mobile's partner
networks in Haiti (operated locally in Haiti under the names Voila and
Digicel) free-of-charge through the end of the month. In both cases,
T-Mobile will remove these charges from customer bills accordingly.
Mobile operator Digicel Group says its network in Haiti is still providing domestic and international phone service after a major earthquake devastated the country.
"Our
company and our employees care deeply for our customers, and we know
that many customers have been directly impacted by the disaster in
Haiti," said Robert Dotson, president and CEO, T-Mobile USA. "While our
thoughts go out to those in Haiti who are suffering so greatly at this
time, our promise is to help people connect with those who matter most.
I can think of no better time to demonstrate this commitment."
Additionally,
T-Mobile has taken steps to assist with the restoration of the wireless
communications infrastructure in Haiti - a key component in supporting
the overall humanitarian and recovery efforts. T-Mobile has pledged its
support to donate wireless equipment such as generators and phones.
