AT&T has announced they are to expand international data offerings to help Apple iPhone and Apple iPhone 3G customers stay connected round the world.
According to the AT&T press release: “AT&T will offer two new plans that accommodate iPhone customers’ increasing reliance on data services while travelling abroad. The two new plans, which offer 100 megabytes (MB) or 200 MB a month, can potentially save customers hundreds of dollars compared to pay-per-use international data roaming charges.”
But it’s not all good news, the bad news is it will cost over the subscribers entire monthly iPhone bill.
So for discounted international data usage in 67 countries it will cost an iPhoner if they choose the 100MB plan an extra $119.99 per month.
If a roaming iPhoner chooses the 200MB plan it will set them back $199.99. No long-term commitment is required on either package though; so the iPhoner can add or remove then at any time. And these plans start as of today.
