Cingular, Sprint Give Katrina Victims Bill Breaks
A Reuters newswire article, via eWeek, reports that:
Cingular Wireless, the No. 1 U.S. wireless carrier, has said it would give customers in the areas devastated by Hurricane Katrina discounts on their cell phone bills, including roaming charges and text messages.
Customers in the New Orleans and Biloxi, Mississippi, markets will receive a one-time 50 percent credit on their monthly fee and will not be charged for roaming, extra minutes, long-distance or text messaging from late August through September 30, according to a September 8 letter made available on Friday.
Cingular's subscribers in the markets of Mobile, Alabama, Jackson, Mississippi, Baton Rouge and Lafayette, Louisiana, will get a one-time 25 percent discount on their monthly charge as well as unspecified discounts on roaming and text messages.
The company, a joint venture of BellSouth Corp. and SBC Communications Inc., said the expiration date for prepaid customers will be extended to October 31 and will replace any that expired since August 29.
