大意就是在美国的T-mobile用户（包含GoSmart Mobile/MetroPCS/Walmart Family )
可以于7/14前免费传讯息或打电话至台湾了解台风的状况
在台湾的人也可以打电话过去，相关的国际漫游费用会由T-Mobile cover
不管是预付卡还是固定合约的用户都可以享有这份优惠，别让台风挡住亲情的意思
CEO更表示：“我们的心与台湾同在。”
虽然网络的功能已经很强大了，而且替代的联络方式应该也不少
但是个人觉得T-Mobile这样做真的很棒，有种台湾总算被重视的感觉（？
加上在加州这样的地方充满非常多台湾人，年纪大的也不在少数
他们应该也会很直觉性的拿起电话联络在台湾的亲友
这则消息值得大推，台风天或许风吹得有点凉，但亲情的温暖可以战胜一切der
对美国有亲人的真的是福音!
新闻原文：
T-Mobile has announced today that they will be providing free communication
via voice calling and texting from the U.S. to Taiwan, active immediately
and valid through the next week (ending July 14). This is to help ensure that
people are able to communicate both while preparing for, and recovering from,
typhoon Nepartak. John Legere, president and CEO of T-Mobile, says “Keeping
in contact with friends and family is critical during an emergency… Our
thoughts are with the people of Taiwan, and anyone else who may be affected
by the powerful storm.”
This type of response to emergency situations is not uncommon; in recent times,
carriers have been increasingly willing to extend services to their customers
at no cost to help them during times of crisis. And even third parties are
stepping in, as was evident last month when Google offered free calls via
Hangouts to Turkey in the wake of the Istanbul airport attacks.
This offer will not only be available to T-Mobile Simple Choice customers (both
prepaid and postpaid), but also those using T-Mobile’s network through one of
their partners, including MetroPCS, GoSmart Mobile, and Walmart Family Mobile.
In addition to offering free calling and texting to Taiwan, they have also
offered to waive any roaming fees for those on a T-Mobile plan for both calls
and texts. Data, of course, will be covered as usual for T-Mobile subscribers
under their free international data roaming policy. So whether you are
communicating with someone in Taiwan, or are in Taiwan and need to get in touch
with someone back home, T-Mobile has you covered. You don’t need to take any
special steps in order to take advantage of this offer, it will be taken care
of automatically. The charges will show on your bill as they normally would,
however, you will also see credits in the amount of the charges that are being
waived. Although some may question whether the motives behind these kinds of
actions are based on publicity, the outcome is still a positive one, as it
provides people with a way to get in touch when they need it most. See the
