Vodafone provides support for Solomon Islands
Vodafone
has announced it will credit its New Zealand customers’
calls and TXTs to the Solomon Islands following last
week’s devastating floods and earthquake.
This
includes mobile, residential and business calls made to
landlines and mobile phones in the Solomon Islands. The
retrospective credit will apply to calls and TXTs made from
Friday 4 April (0:00:01) to Sunday 6 April (23:59:59) and
will be applied to customers’ accounts.
Matt Williams,
Vodafone Consumer Director, says it is vitally important for
people to be able to communicate with family and friends in
a time of crisis.
“Our thoughts are with the people of
the Solomon Islands affected by this disaster – and, in
particular, those who have lost loved ones.
“Many thousands of people have been impacted and there is significant damage to homes and infrastructure.
“We
hope that these measures will go some way to helping Kiwis
keep in touch with loved ones in the Solomon Islands at this
difficult time.”
