Article Summary
AT&T & T-Mobile have made an agreement to "enable roaming on their networks to customers of both companies in the heavily impacted areas[of Hurricane Sandy]." This arrangement will not affect customers current rate plans and will allow them to roam on the other carrier's network with a compatible device.
Relevance to Class
All of us, who so heavily depend on our cell phones during times of "normalcy," were deeply affected by mobile phone users not being much accessible during Hurricane Sandy. With the agreement reached by AT&T and T-Mobile to share their network, a lot of people can now communicate with their loved ones.
Key Quote
"In other words, if you are an AT&T customer, and you suddenly see "T-Mobile" at the top of your phone, don't fret about extra charges-just be glad you can make calls."
