I'm not sure if this is true...but the 90999 number is on major news channels so I assume its the most trusted. I would donate to docters without borders. They go out in treacherous conditions and were already there and many of there relief providers died. They really need the support. If you are a doctor or nurse American Airlines will send you out there for free. You just need to call the airport.

T-Mobile USA Inc., which is also waiving texting fees, said Thursday it is enabling international calls to Haiti free of charge through Jan. 31 and will retroactively credit accounts for such calls made since Tuesday. And T-Mobile users in Haiti will be able to make roaming calls on local networks Voila and Digicel thorough the end of the month, the company said.
