All French mobile phone operators are offering their customers free calls and text messages to Morocco, which has been hit by a violent earthquake, the French Minister for Digital Affairs Jean-Noël Barrot announced on Sunday.
"Following the tragic earthquake, calls and text messages to Morocco will be free for customers of the operators @bouyguestelecom, @free, @orange and @SFR. Absolute solidarity with the victims, their families and loved ones", wrote the Minister on his X (ex-Twitter) account.
SFR will be joining the other operators whose customers are already benefiting from free calls to Morocco from "this evening at midnight", he added.
