Wireless and landline consumer and business customers can call to Haiti for free following devastating earthquake

BASKING RIDGE, N.J., Aug. 18, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Following this weekend’s 7.2 earthquake in Haiti, Verizon will waive charges for calls from its residential and business wireless and landline customers to Haiti, from Aug. 18 through Aug. 31.

“In this time of need, we know customers are trying to reach loved ones in Haiti,” said Ronan Dunne, executive vice president and CEO of Verizon Consumer Group for Verizon. “Waiving the calling charges will help our customers focus on tracking down and keeping in touch with family and friends without having to also worry about the cost.”

Beginning Wednesday (Aug. 18), all calls made from a Verizon residential or business landline and wireless phones to Haiti will be rated at $0.00 per minute.

Additionally, customers with international coverage plans can call Haiti without using any minutes from their time-allotment blocks.
