This is not my badassity. This is about Ting wireless.
Just got an alert from Ting (have mine and husband's cells with them and love them).
Because they care about their customers and saw how devastating Hurricane Harvey was, they are giving everyone in Texas a credit in their accounts - flat $40 plus $20 each additional device associated with the account. Automatically applied, so no worrying about claiming it - just kicks in on your next bill.
I've been reading about other companies out there offering a month's grace period on bills with no surcharges or late fees, which is really great, but to give away what could end up amounting to several hundred thousand in credit? I'm not gonna lie... I got choked up and kind of cried a little. It's not even about the money for us, but it kind of blew me away, because for many, that money could make a huge difference in being able to buy food that week. Some of our friends are hourly employees - they don't work, they don't get paid. And with their offices closed for the next several weeks depending, they are going to have to hope that the donations and charities are on the ball to fill the gap.
It's been a stressful week, and while we didn't even have any damages or water in the house... it was frightening watching it get close, and I've been out helping where I can the last few days since they allowed us to travel again, and feeling so heartbroken for our friends and neighbors.
Ting - you're a class act through and through. Thank you so much for not being a faceless corporation. I'm going to be a loyal customer from here on out.
