While the ability to use mobile devices when abroad has been available for quite some time, charges associated with international roaming have remained a sore point for many mobile users. This situation often encouraged users to locate nearby Wi-Fi hotspots in order to do their web browsing, reply to an e-mail, or make a free call via Skype.
Now, AT&T says it’s « making it easier to stay connected when you travel » with the introduction of its new International Day Pass. For a flat rate of $10 per 24-hour period, customers will receive unlimited talk and text back to the US as well as the use of data included in their plan at no additional charge. Furthermore, the International Day Pass can be used in over 100 countries , including popular destinations in Europe, Asia, and the Caribbean, enabling travelers to more easily stay in touch and abreast of information while away from home.
