As of late we’ve had the unfortunate pleasure of witnessing some high profile corporate citizenship. Yesterday Verizon added to the list of good deeds done by American companies by allowing , through March 6th, calls from the US to be made without fees for residential log distance users.
“This is an excruciatingly difficult time for our customers with loved ones in Chile,” said Susan Retta, vice president of consumer products for Verizon. “Waiving the calling charges will help our customers focus on tracking down and keeping in touch with their family and friends without having to also worry about the cost of the call.”
Additionally customers with smaller plans, 300 or 500 minutes, can call without burning plan minutes.
