AT&T launches Data Global Plan for iPhone users to get data overseasWhat does it take for the No. 1 wireless carrier in the US to finally offer a consumer-friendly service that actually prioritizes the the customer’s needs ahead of the corporate bottom line? We’d say something like 4 months.

AT&T has finally announced an international iPhone data plan to help jet-setters avoid racking up roaming data charges in the thousands of dollars. The new Data Global Plan offers iPhone users 20MB of overseas wireless data for $25 per month (data overages cost half a cent per KB), $60 per month if you need 50MB of data (with each additional KB costing $0.005) – and is offered in 29 countries. The Data Global Plan only offers international data, so keep that overseas talktime to a minimum.

Hit up AT&T’s handy pre-travel guide to make sure your travels don’t result in some un-godly wireless bills.

    For some time now i have been trying to send a text message to a relative serving in Mosul, Iraq. I have to use his mobile phone number which begins with 011 and is 16 digits in length. Each time i text i get an error message stating “invalid number. Please re-send using a valid 10 digit mobile number or valid short code.”
    What am i doing wrong? How do i text Iraq?
