Verizon Waives Charges for Calling Afghanistan

Verizon will waive charges through Sept. 6 for calls to Afghanistan from consumer and business wireless customers, plus residential landline customers. Customers with international coverage plans can call the country without using any minutes from their time-allotment blocks, the provider said Tuesday. “During this time of need, customers need to stay connected with loved ones in Afghanistan,” said Ronan Dunne, CEO of Verizon Consumer Group.
