Google will repair Hurricane Harvey victims' Pixel phones for free in Houston
While repairing a broken or damaged cell phone isn't always the most high-priority thing in the wake of a natural disaster, it's still an important one—phones are a primary tool used for communication and gathering information.
Now, in the wake of the devastating flooding and damage Hurricane Harvey brought to Houston, Google is teaming up with phone repairing service uBreakiFix to offer free repairs of damaged Google Pixel phones to victims of Harvey.
As reported by The Verge, the two companies have teamed up to allow Pixel owners to bring their phones in to a number of locations throughout Houston until September 30th.
In a blog post, uBreakiFix listed these seven locations for repairs.
We've also reached out to Google for additional comment on the services.
