T-Mobile isn’t the only contributor in the Haiti situation. Google, Vonage, Skype are offering Free VoIP Calls to Haiti. Ricky sent us in an interesting post on the Google Voice Blog this morning. It looks like Google is doing its part as well providing free calls to Haiti for the next two weeks using Google Voice.
“It’s impossible to watch the aftermath of the Haiti earthquake without wondering how one can contribute in helping the thousands of families who lost everything in this disaster.
Google set up a disaster relief page, which includes information and resources for anyone interested in helping out, and the Google Voice team also wanted to respond in our own way.
Particularly in the wake of such a catastrophe, for people in the US who have family in Haiti, it is critical to stay in constant contact with your loved ones, provide moral comfort, and offer daily updates to friends and family in Haiti.
To help those families, we’re offering free calling to Haiti through Google Voice for the next two weeks. To place a call using Google Voice, use the Click2Call button on the website, the Google Voice mobile app, or dial your own Google Voice number and press 2 to place an outbound call.”
Now you don’t need to have a BlackBerry or other phone compatible with the mobile application. The services can be used online if you follow the given instructions on how to make a call. If you need to get in touch with someone in Haiti, feel free to use Google Voice. Don’t forget T-Mobile’s offer as well where you can donate money as well by simply sending out a text message. In addition, Vonage, Skype are also offering free 10minutes call to Haiti
