Know Before You Go
International roaming and long distance service at standard pay-per-use rates is a feature included with AT&T wireless service, and may be automatically provisioned on eligible customers' lines of service.* However, before calling or traveling abroad:
- Determine if your wireless device will operate in the country you are visiting.
- Visit an AT&T retail store or call customer service (611) to verify international roaming service is activated (or you may request it be blocked).
- Learn how to call home when traveling abroad.
Tip: To ensure the broadest coverage, a quad-band (850/900/1800/1900) device is recommended. To roam in Japan or South Korea, a 3G device that operates at 2100 MHz is required.
Tip: Take advantage of AT&T World Traveler and get calling rates as low as $0.99 per minute when traveling to most of Western Europe. A data package is highly recommended, especially for Apple® iPhone™ or laptop customers.
Tip: It's easy to call or send a text message back to the U.S. Simply dial: "+" (1) (10-digit number).
