they should follow tmo's lead to increasing data access.

I'm thinking of making the switch to tmo not only to save money, but given how well they've behaved recently

Great gesture by Verizon to help people stay connected during this time.

Although I'd be hesitant to call my relatives overseas without knowing for sure that they won't get hit with some expensive surcharge by their telecom provider for accepting the international calls.

Will stick to free voice calls over wifi for now

They already did. There is another post on slickdeals which had that announcement for 15gb for all consumers wireless accounts (if not on unlimited)

Is it automatically added to every account including prepaid? Do I need to call to activate this feature?

It's NOT FREE - you have to change plans your on & loose your deals - then they talk about pre-paid - that's not free! They're taking lessons from Comcast

I guess US now is also one of those level 3 countries considering the number of cases here.
