2degrees to credit all calls and SMS to Nepal

2degrees to credit all calls and SMS to Nepal


In the wake of the devastating earthquake in Nepal in the weekend, 2degrees will be crediting all calls and SMS messages made to mobiles and landlines in Nepal from Friday 24th April until midnight Wednesday 29th April.

Our thoughts are with the people of Nepal, as well as those visiting the country at the time of this disaster. 2degrees is crediting all calls as it’s important family and friends in New Zealand are able to stay in touch with loved ones in Nepal at this time.

2degrees recommends customers use text if possible when trying to contact loved ones so that it places minimal impact on Nepal’s mobile networks. In previous natural disasters, partner networks have found their networks can be heavily loaded and the priority at this time needs to be on emergency calling and disaster relief efforts.
