Comcast Providing Free Calls To Japan

To help unite families and friends in the aftermath of the devastating earthquake and tsunami in Japan, Comcast has announced it is providing free calls to Japan for its Digital Voice and Business Class Voice customers.

For calls made to Japan by customers through April 10, Comcast will remove these charges from customers' bills.

"Our hearts go out to all of the earthquake and tsunami victims and their families," said Cathy Avgiris, senior vice president and general manager of communications and data services at Comcast. "We want to help ensure our customers with loved ones living in or visiting Japan have the means to remain in close contact with them during this difficult time."

Credits and waived fees will be automatic, as no action is required by customers. Comcast will cover fees for calls made to both landline and mobile phones. Comcast's subscriber terms and conditions otherwise apply.
