Traveling Foriegn? Use New iPhone Global Plan
11.02.07 - 01:16pm
If you’re planning on taking a trip outside the u.S. chances are you want to bring your iPhone along so you can keep up on e-mail, use google maps, and search the web to find all the hot spots in whatever totally foreign town you’re dropping in on.
AT&T just made that a little easier by creating the Data Global Plan. The plan will give users 50MB of data a month in 29 different countries. The plan costs an additional $60 a month and enables international voice and data roaming. International long distance dialing is also allowed at the United States standard rates.
Smaller plans are offered at $25 a month for 20MB of data, for those who wish to have the phone available but not use it too much.
Both plans have overage charges of $.005/KB and rates outside the 29 countries is set at $.0195/KB. The rates are in addition to the plans you already have.
You can visit AT&T’s international page to see if the country you are visiting is included in the plan.
