This also includes free calling and texting within Mexico. While most T‑Mobile Simple Choice customers can already call and text to, from and within Mexico at no extra charge, this relief effort applies to all T‑Mobile Simple Choice and Pay-in-Advance customers, as well as customers of MetroPCS, GoSmart Mobile, and WalMart Family Mobile and is effective from Friday, October 23 through Saturday, November 7, 2015. Postpaid customers who placed calls on the 23rd will receive retroactive credits. \### __Media Contact__ T‑Mobile US Media Relations [MediaRelations@t‑mobile.com](mailto:MediaRelations@t-mobile.com) Tags[Emergency Response](https://www.t-mobile.com/news/archive/emergency-response)[Hurricane Relief](https://www.t-mobile.com/news/archive/hurricane-relief)[Relief](https://www.t-mobile.com/news/archive/relief) ## Related Stories [More Stories](https://www.t-mobile.com/news/stories) [![T-Mobile Generator deployment for Storm Lala in Hawaii, 8-16-26](https://www.t-mobile.com/news/_admin/uploads/2026/08/T-Mobile-Generator-deployment-for-Storm-Lala-in-Hawaii-8-16-26-500x250.jpg) \ NetworkPress Release \ __T‑Mobile Expands Network Recovery and Customer Support Across Hawaiʻi Following Hurricane Lala (Updated 8/18/26)__ \ August 16, 2026|7 min read](https://www.t-mobile.com/news/network/t-mobile-expands-network-recovery-and-customer-support-across-hawaii-following-hurricane-lala) [![T-Mobile Activates T-Satellite and Mobilizes Network Teams as Tropical Storm Lala Approaches Hawaiʻi (Updated 8/16/26 AM)](https://www.t-mobile.com/news/_admin/uploads/2026/08/hurricane-also-called-tornado-or-typhoon-with-lightnings_SS_2201751399-500x250.jpg) \ NetworkPress Release \ __T‑Mobile Activates T-Satellite and Mobilizes Network Teams as Tropical Storm Lala Approaches Hawaiʻi (Updated 8/16/26 AM)__ \ August 14, 2026|7 min read](https://www.t-mobile.com/news/network/t-mobile-activates-t-satellite-and-mobilizes-network-teams-tropical-storm-lala-hawaii) [![T-Mobile Supports Customers Following Powerful Earthquake in Colombia](https://www.t-mobile.com/news/_admin/uploads/2024/04/default-article-social-image-500x250.png) \ CommunityStatement \ __T‑Mobile Supports Customers Following Powerful Earthquake in Colombia__ \ August 11, 2026|1 min read](https://www.t-mobile.com/news/community/t-mobile-supports-customers-earthquake-in-colombia) [![T-Mobile Supports Customers During Super Typhoon Bavi](https://www.t-mobile.com/news/_admin/uploads/2024/04/default-article-social-image-500x250.png) \ CommunityPress Release \ __T‑Mobile Supports Customers During Super Typhoon Bavi__ \ July 08, 2026|2 min read](https://www.t-mobile.com/news/community/super-typhoon-bavi)
