After the tragic events that unfolded in France last night, Verizon Wireless has announced that they will be waving fees and making both calling and texting to the country free through the end of this weekend. The carrier is hoping this announcement will make it easier for customers who are trying to connect with friends and family in France. The waiving of fees for calling and texting will be on going through November 15th, we will update this post if Verizon chooses to extend this period. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims in Paris.
