Hurricane Sandy inflicted damage on New York and New Jersey |
Because both carriers use the GSM technology, this arrangement can be made. We have to say that we know what it is like to not have a cellular signal in the aftermath of a hurricane and those in the New York-New Jersey area are lucky to have these two carriers working together for the good of the community.There is no world on how long this arrangement will continue for.
Last year, AT&T offered to buy T-Mobile for $39 billion but regulators objected to the deal and AT&T eventually backed away from the planned acquisition.

Whatever makes them money in the long run...
I hope you didnt think this was anything more then a publicity stunt... Ohh they helped in the aftermath, they must be great carriers!
Yes, my view on humanity is jaded, it happens when you live with humans long enough.

so basically they arent charging their customers roaming fees.
This shouldnt affect very many people differently, roaming fees are pretty much dead when it comes to newer rate plans unless its international.
