“We were excited to be the first carrier to enable 5G roaming for U.S. customers in Japan back in 2020,” said Jenifer Robertson, executive vice president and general manager – AT&T Mobility. “With international travel ramping up, having reliable connectivity while abroad is more critical than ever. We want our customers to enjoy rich, unforgettable experiences while traveling – that’s why we’re thrilled to bring 5G access to 35+ destinations around the globe with more coming soon.”
AT&T outlined a few more ways that they can help you travel seamlessly:
Traveling Outside of the U.S.? With International Day Pass, use your phone like you normally would when you’re at home. This is an add-on for those with the Unlimited Plan. It includes unlimited high-speed data, talk and text in over 210 destinations for $10/day. AT&T promises you’ll never pay for more than 10 days per line per bill. Additional lines used in the same 24-hour period can get 50% off. And only pay for the days you use! Be aware that AT&T may slow data speeds in the U.S. or Mexico if the network is busy. If you talk, send a text or use data in any of the included countries, you’ll be charged $10 per 24 hours and $5 for each additional line on the same account used the same day unless you remove International Day Pass.
Crossing the Borders in Mexico or Canada? You can use your eligible plan to get unlimited data, talk and text in and between the U.S., Mexico and Canada included at no extra charge. Also be aware that roaming usage may only be at 2G speeds!
Flying to your Next Destination? AT&T 5G+ using mmWave is delivering ultra-fast speeds at major domestic airports across the country, with more than 20 planned by the end of the year. This 5G+ connection can help you make a smooth and clear video call, send that large file for work and let you download your content in a flash while boarding. Coverage can be found at gate and concession spaces, where travelers and airport employees have the greatest need.
Setting Sail for Adventures at Sea? Stay connected while cruising on over 175 ships. Choose the plan that meets your needs for talk, text and data. A one-time charge gets you 30 days of use. No extra charges when you use your phone on land in Mexico, Canada and select Caribbean islands. You’ll need a compatible device with domestic postpaid wireless service for this. Standard domestic messaging rates apply to text, picture, and video messages received. Restrictions apply, so check out more details here.
Don’t Forget About Device Protection: We all know how important travel insurance can be, but what about your devices? Now through April 15, AT&T is offering open enrollment for AT&T Protect Advantage, which is their device protection program. This can be applied to devices even if they are older than 30 days. It covers loss, theft and damage, plus gives you access to technical support while you are on the go. Learn more about AT&T Protect Advantage here.
