Steve Hodges, AT&T’s northeast regional president, said that the companies’ goal “is to help people stay connected to family and loved ones in the aftermath of this terrible storm.” T-Mobile’s late fees will be waived for prepaid and contract customers until November 8th, however AT&T did not specify an end date.
