In the wake of the devastating 7.8 magnitude earthquake centered on Ecuador’s pacific
coast region, Sprint is waiving fees for international calls and text usage to Ecuador
from the U.S., and voice and SMS while internationally roaming in Ecuador for all Sprint,
Boost Mobile, Virgin Mobile USA, and Sprint Prepaid customers1 - effective April 16,
2016 through April 25, 2016.
“Our hearts and prayers go out to all of those personally affected by the earthquake in
Ecuador this morning,“ said Sprint CEO Marcelo Claure. “During this difficult time we
want to show our support for all Sprint, Boost Mobile, and Virgin Mobile customers who
may have friends and family in the region by allowing them to connect without worrying
about fees.”
