Official: Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T bring out all the heavy artillery to America's astonishment

The three major operators once again show the country that they are ready for any setback

The terrible floods that recently struck Texas have left thousands of people homeless, roads impassable, and areas completely cut off. In the face of this tragedy, Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T have quickly deployed all their resources. Above all, they have acted to ensure that the population keeps communication in such a critical moment.

What they have done has not only been a show of technical capability, but also of human commitment. When natural disasters of this magnitude occur, a stable and fast connection can make the difference between life and death. The ability to communicate with family members, call emergency services, or receive vital information can save lives.

With this in mind, the main operators have acted from the very first minute. Mainly, they have worked to minimize the effects of disconnection that the floods could have caused.

The role of Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T

Verizon confirmed that their network is still operating despite the major impact suffered in many areas of the state. The company has strengthened its monitoring of the situation and is in constant communication with emergency teams. Above all, they are working to provide technical and operational support.

One of the most notable resources has been the delivery of low-orbit satellite devices to the Texas Department of Public Safety. They are being used with drones in search and rescue missions. This shows Verizon's willingness to be present where they are most needed: on the front line of the emergency.

Meanwhile, T-Mobile deployed its Community Support team in Kerrville, one of the regions hardest hit by the rains. There, they set up free wifi points, charging stations for mobile phones, and have distributed basic supplies at a center designed to reunite separated families. In addition, they are working hand in hand with state and local agencies so that no one is left without access to connectivity or essential resources.

AT&T has also made a remarkable effort by putting a 39 ft. (12 meters) Mobile Connectivity Center into operation at Schreiner University. At this center, flood victims can connect to the internet at no cost, use computers, and charge their devices. The company has also delivered essential materials to rescue teams and is actively collaborating with its FirstNet network.

The importance of operators

What Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T have shown in recent days is that their role goes far beyond providing coverage or mobile plans. In times of disaster, these companies are an essential part of the aid network. Their quick and effective response has been recognized by millions of Americans who value the power of being connected.

These actions strengthen users' trust. They can count on these companies even in the darkest moments.
