Planning on going somewhere this summer with your iPhone or iPad? AT&T has announced cheaper data roaming packages you may want to check out.
- 120 MB Data Global Add-on package for $30/month
- 300 MB Data Global Add-on package for $60/month
- 800 MB Data Global Add-on package for $120/month
If you go over your allotment, you're automatically signed up for another round of the bottom tier.
Considering as of last summer AT&T was asking $25 for 50 MB, these are pretty good deals, and puts them on par with a recent data roaming package Verizon has recently started to offer: 100 MB for $25. Personally, I prefer to pick up a local SIM card rather than sign up for a roaming package (mainly because Rogers charges $50 for 10 MB), but often language barriers and time constraints can stop that from happening.
