Verizon Communications Makes Calls Free to Japan From March 11 to April 10

Verizon Communications Inc. (VZ) is making calls to Japan free for most wireless and residential customers from March 11 to April 10.

The co. said in a press release that all Verizon Wireless post-paid customers, who are those who receive a monthly bill from the company, will receive free calling to Japan through April 10. In addition, Verizon Wireless post-paid customers in the U.S. will receive free text and multimedia messaging to Japan for the same time period.

Verizon also said that all calls made from a Verizon residential landline to Japan will be rated at $0.00 per minute, from March 11 through April 10. Customers with Verizon World Plan (300, 500 or unlimited minutes of long-distance calling) can call Japan without using any minutes from their time-allotment blocks.

Additionally, Verizon Prepaid Phone Card charges for all long-distance calls placed to Japan from the United States will also be waived from March 11 until April 10.
