Cell phones are never more important than during a natural disaster, when they serve as a lifeline to keep people connected with police, emergency rescue and government agencies, in addition to friends and relatives. With that in mind, TracFone Wireless, the nation's largest prepaid cell phone provider, is providing extended free service days to ensure its customers will maintain service during the recovery and aftermath of Hurricane Ike.
TracFone is extending its service expiration dates for all customers in the affected areas of Hurricane Ike, as defined by FEMA. As of September 12th, any TracFone or Net10 subscriber who is in these affected areas and has a service expiration date in the next 10 days will receive an extra 10 days of service at no extra charge. Currently, 45 counties have been declared as being in a "State of Emergency." TracFone will monitor FEMA announcements as the storm evolves and apply the same policy to additional "State of Emergency" designations as they arise. Please visit the FEMA Web site at http://www.fema.gov for the complete updated listing of declared disaster areas. About TracFone Wireless, Inc.
