I was burned last year by AT&T’s prohibitive roaming rates and so last time I flew out I called AT&T to set up a world package. But, as you’ll find, discovering the world packages page is almost impossible on AT&T’s website and the average user will probably have to get burned just like I did before they figure things out.

Well, AT&T just decided to be proactive and sent out a one page document to all iPhone users describing the World Packages. It’s succinct and includes some helpful tips like turning off Fetch and Data Roaming. It’s better late than never, I suppose, and should save some unsuspecting study abroad students next month.

To sign up you have to call 1-866-662-4548. You cant’ do it online.

  • Yes, it is very hard for someone to type, “att wireless international” into Google and click the first link that pops up. That would be way harder than saying the heck with it and downloading “Ironman” through my iPhone while roaming through China.

    Someone, somewhere show some initiative and take some responsibility for your actions or lack of.

  • 3 words: Enterprise International Data

    Ask a rep about it.

    • P.S. may require a corporate account. But it is only 70 a month, not in addition of the 40$ Enterprise Data Account, *IN PLACE OF* the enterprise account.

      Adds up fast though, 70 for data, 40/50 for voice, 20 for unlimited SMS… plus there is a per line fee for corporate accounts.

  • AT&T, Make us hate you more – Pleeeeze.

  • Huh, or they could allays just stop screwing their customers when they have perfectly good pairing agreements in place international.
