Verizon Wont Charge Sandy Victims for Calls and Texts During Storm

As part of a larger effort to help victims of superstorm Sandy, Verizon has announced that it won't charge them for phone calls or texts.

The wireless company will remove voice and text activity incurred between October 29 and November 16, for those in certain areas of New York and New Jersey affected by Sandy, as explained in an Verizon's online FAQ.
