Free network information for people to fight floods
VNPT VinaPhone said that from 0:00 on August 3 to 24:00 on August 13, each day this network will give away 30 free minutes of domestic calls (including calls from VinaPhone subscribers in Quang Ninh to VinaPhone subscribers and to VNPT and GPhone landline subscribers nationwide), 100 domestic text messages for prepaid and postpaid subscribers of VinaPhone mobile network in Quang Ninh province.
In order to support the people, local agencies, and businesses in Quang Ninh in rescue and disaster relief activities during these peak flood days, VNPT has also deployed many measures to ensure smooth and convenient communication.
The unprecedented heavy rain in the past 40 years has not only caused heavy damage to the people of Quang Ninh, but also caused scattered loss of communication at some 2G/3G transmission stations in Ha Long, Cam Pha, Hai Ha. The main cause was power outage due to heavy rain and floods causing landslides. VNPT's technical staff has worked day and night to overcome the consequences, ensuring smooth communication throughout the past time, ensuring good information to serve the leadership's direction and operation, typically on July 27, a good Video Conference was organized for the leaders of Quang Ninh province to all districts and on July 30, a Video Conference was organized for the Minister, Head of the Central Steering Committee for Natural Disaster Prevention to hold an online meeting with the northern provinces and cities (from Ha Tinh and beyond).
It is expected that the total amount of money that VNPT VinaPhone will support by exempting fees will be up to more than 3 billion VND. In addition, VNPT will come up with a plan to reduce subscription fees for wired network subscribers in damaged areas.
