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.
How You Can Help
For those interested in helping immediately, T-Mobile customers can simply text "HAITI" to "90999" and a donation of $10 will be given automatically to the Red Cross to help with relief efforts.
Your donation will be charged to your T-Mobile phone bill, and one hundred percent of this donation goes directly to the Red Cross.
There is no per-text fee for this service for T-Mobile customers who do not have a messaging plan, nor will the text be decremented from messaging plans.
Similarly, customers can text 'YELE' to 501501 to support Haitian-born musician and featured T-Mobile MyTouch' 3G artist Wyclef Jean's Yele Haiti fund. For more information, please visit http://www.yele.org.
