Validas: Kill Your Bill

The carriers step up for calls to Haiti, but are they delivering?

America’s largest wireless carriers and their customers have stepped up and given back to Haiti in the recent weeks following the devastating January 12 earthquake. Verizon Wireless’ users, for example, have pledged over $7.8 million in aid to Haiti through texting campaigns. The carrier itself is helping by advancing a good portion of that money to the Red Cross immediately rather than waiting the standard 90 days. Additionally, Verizon Wireless recently announced that it is waiving the long distance charges for its U.S. customers calling Haiti in the aftermath of the earthquake, from January 12 – 31.

Very altruistic. But with the massive volume of calls to Haiti, the risk for bureaucratic inefficiency increases and mistakes may be made. So, who ensures that the promises of free calling to Haiti are delivered upon? Validas. Come to our site and audit your wireless bill through our service. Besides reducing the average cell bill by over 20 percent (or by around $450 annually), we also provide a full record of your calling details so you can double check that your carrier is not charging you for calling Haiti if they made that promise. With over one hundred thousand confirmed dead, the earthquake has taken an unimaginable toll on the Haitian people and their friends and family across the world. While it seems incredibly petty to discuss something as comparably mundane as a wireless bill, the absolute last thing U.S. customers calling Haiti need are massive cell bills. We’re here to try and prevent that from happening.
