Frequent travellers who at the same time happen to own Apple (NSDQ: AAPL)’s shiny handset will be glad to know AT&T (NYSE: T) has added two new international iPhone data plans.
The two plans involve 100MB and 200MB of data and are available for an additional $119.99 and $199.99 a month, respectively. 67 countries are included with the “discounted international data” plans: Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, Aruba, Australia, Austria, Barbados, The Bahamas, Belgium, Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Canada, Cayman Islands, Chile, China, Colombia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Dominica, Ecuador, Egypt, El Salvador, France, French Guiana, Germany, Greece, Grenada, Guadeloupe, Guam, Guatemala, Haiti, Hong Kong, Hungary, India, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Jamaica, Japan, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Martinique, Mexico, Monaco, Montserrat, The Netherlands, Netherland Antilles, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, San Marino, Singapore, Slovak Republic, South Korea, Spain, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Martin, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Trinidad and Tobago, Turks and Caicos, United Kingdom and Vatican City.
The other group where rate is rate is $0.0195/KB, include such countries as Algeria, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Bolivia, Bosnia/Herzegovina, Brunei, Faroe Islands, Kazakhstan, Kuwait, Macau, Macedonia (former Yugoslavia), Malaysia, Maldives, Mongolia, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, Turkey, United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Venezuela.
Finally, if you happen to be in some other country not mentioned above, expect to pay $.010/KB.
Would it not be such a pain in the neck when you rack up fees above the 119-199 you paid. As far as I know there is no way to know how much data you have consumed, and because of that you’d be going over your data limit.
