ALBANY — In response to the deadly and destructive earthquake that rattled Italy last week, Mediacom Communications is offering its customers free international phone calls to Italy through Labor Day.
“The entire Mediacom Family extends our deepest sympathies to the people of Italy impacted by this natural disaster,” Rocco B. Commisso, Mediacom founder and CEO, said. “By offering free international calls, we hope to provide some small comfort to family and friends concerned about their loved ones overseas.”
The ability to make free international phone calls also extends to the Asian country of Myanmar. Mediacom customers are not required to take any action on their account. The company will automatically waive fees for all calls to Italy and Myanmar made between Aug. 23 and Sept. 5.
