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 [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) 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 drones and drone operation center, 2026](https://www.t-mobile.com/news/_admin/uploads/2026/05/TMobileDrones2026_Hero-500x250.jpg) \ NetworkPress Release \ __Every Second Counts: T-Mobile Advances a Stronger, Smarter, More Resilient Network for Americans__  \ May 05, 2026|10 min read](https://www.t-mobile.com/news/network/t-mobile-advances-stronger-smarter-network-for-americans) [![T-Mobile Supporting Customers During Super Typhoon Sinlaku](https://www.t-mobile.com/news/_admin/uploads/2024/04/default-article-social-image-500x250.png) \ CommunityStatement \ __T-Mobile Supporting Customers During Super Typhoon Sinlaku__ \ April 15, 2026|1 min read](https://www.t-mobile.com/news/community/t-mobile-supporting-customers-super-typhoon-sinlaku) [![T-Mobile Team at the National Hurricane Conference in Orlando, March 2026](https://www.t-mobile.com/news/_admin/uploads/2026/03/T-Mobile-Emergency-Response-Team-National-hurricane-Conference-2026_Hero-500x250.jpg) \ NetworkPress Release \ __On the Front Lines of Hurricane Preparedness: T-Mobile at the National Hurricane Conference (Updated 4/1)__ \ March 31, 2026|4 min read](https://www.t-mobile.com/news/network/on-the-front-lines-of-hurricane-preparedness-t-mobile-at-the-national-hurricane-conference) [![T-Mobile T-Priority](https://www.t-mobile.com/news/_admin/uploads/2026/02/3c2a0e1d-1fd4-42bc-a76b-e644d36bc1cb-e1771625284360-500x250.jpg) \ CommunityStory \ __Built for the Storm: How a Former Fire and Police Chief Helps T-Mobile Support First Responders__  \ February 24, 2026|9 min read](https://www.t-mobile.com/news/community/a-former-fire-and-police-chief-helps-t-mobile-support-first-responders)
