A BBC News feature by Jonathan Fildes profiles Telecoms Sans Frontieres (TSF), a charity that deploys satellite phones, radios and other communications equipment to disaster zones so survivors can call relatives to let them know they are safe. It describes TSF’s work after the August 2007 earthquake in Pisco, Peru, which killed at least 500 people and knocked out local phone networks, as well as its earlier deployments following the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and the 2005 Pakistan earthquake, offering free three-minute calls to affected families.
