Customers of mobile network operator O2 (Virgin Media) may like to know that the operator has just responded to Hurricane Beryl, which is wreaking havoc across the Caribbean, by crediting back charges on calls and texts from the UK to several of the affected territories from 3rd to 9th July inclusive.
The territories able to benefit from this currently include Jamaica, Grenada, Barbados, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, St. Lucia, Martinique, Dominican Republic, Haiti and the Cayman Islands.
“We’re also crediting roaming charges on mobile calls, texts and data used in the above territories during the same period“, added VMO2 (here).

I wonder if that extends to this on giffgaff
With family in mainland St Vincent & Montego Bay this has been a double whammy, but mercifully fatalities are low.
While GiffGaff is owned by Telefónica, GiffGaff and O2 are different companies. This shouldn’t apply to GiffGaff for the same reason it doesn’t apply to Tesco Mobile.
GiffGaff might decide to do the same thing, but the announcement needs to come from them.
