Verizon Communications Inc. on Tuesday said it is waiving
charges for calls to Afghanistan from Aug. 24 through Sept. 6.
The company said the waiver covers consumer and business
wireless customers and residential landline customers.
Calls to Afghanistan will be rated at $0.00 per minute, the
company said, adding "customers with international coverage plans
can call Afghanistan without using any minutes from their
time-allotment blocks."
Also on Tuesday, the company said wireless customers can make a
$10 donation to assist those affected in Afghanistan by texting
RESCUE to 256383. The donations will go to the International Rescue
Committee, which offers people in Afghanistan shelter, health
support and other aid, Verizon said. The donation will be applied
to users' wireless bills, Verizon said.
