More Messaging, More Savings
Mobile messaging is a convenient and popular way to stay connected with family and friends who live abroad, which is why AT&T has added a new package that offers a significantly larger messaging bucket and at a greater cost savings.
AT&T International Long Distance Messaging 1000 lets customers send up to 1000 international messages for $15 a month—that’s just one-and-a-half cents per message. The package applies to text, picture or video messages sent from the United States to international wireless numbers in more than 120 countries.****
