Just from a personal perspective it seems all we ever hear is the bad stuff about carriers with horrible customer service, poor call reception, or not having better devices, so it is really a pleasant switch to post about T-Mobile USA helping out Haiti by waiving call charges to Haiti. This aid will go until January 31st, 2010 and T-Mobile will also donate wireless equipment to Haiti to help rebuild their infrastructure. We here at Mobility Digest want to give a big shout out to T-Mobile and to all Companies rendering aid to Haiti in their time of need.
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.
