All of the major US phone carriers are committed to keeping customers connected to their mobile lines, even if they can't pay their bills during the coronavirus epidemic. FCC Chairman Ajit Pai issued an undertaking on March 13 that Verizon, Sprint, AT&T, T-Mobile and other carriers said brought the total to 185 carriers, according to a press release. The FCC is keeping Americans connected as signers of pledges to help customers in three ways for at least the next 60 days: Do not interrupt service to residential or small business customers who cannot pay bills due to outages due to coronavirus, waive late fees incurred due to epidemic conditions, and open Wi-Fi hotspots to "any American who needs it."
