Free Calls to Japan

Due to the devastating earthquake that happened in Japan, many companies are offering free calls to Japan. Last night, I received an email from my cable company Time Warner stating that all calls through their digital home phone service to Japan will be free through 4/15/11.

AT&T has announced that through 3/31/11, AT&T wireless postpaid customers will not be charged for:
*International long distance usage from the United States and Puerto Rico to Japan
*Text messages to Japan, originated from a U.S. wireless number

Verizon has also stated that all Verizon Wireless postpaid customers will receive free calling to Japan through 4/10.11.

This is a great offer for those of you that have family and friends in Japan, especially if they are not active on social networking sites. When I heard about the earthquake, I ran to my computer and logged into Facebook to check onto the status of my family and friends. Luckily, ALL of them are fine!
Our prayers go out to Japan.
