at&t international texting rates
Anyone know what it costs to text someone internationally? I would assume we're subject to extra charges, though I don't know what they are.
Peace,

I would like to know the same thing. I received a text from a US person traveling overseas and replied back. Will I be charged for my reply text?

I think the answer depends on what ATT service you have. I can only speak for Mobile Share Value Plan. Texting to 120 countries (from my memory) is included in the plan and that is free. That is sms as well as mms. Sending a text to an US number while the recipient is out of the country is free, since it is a domestic text. What it will cost the receiver will depend on the receiver's service. Let's say the person has ATT Mobile Share Value Plan, it is free to receive therectically. But it may trigger some unexpected expenses. I am assuming the person does not have any international passport plan. For sms, you have to have voice service available, no airplane mode. So anyone calling that number or have voice mail stack in the queque will come in, that could be a huge expense. For mms, you have to have cellular data available in addition. Whether you need to have international data roaming turn on? I don't know. I had a question to Tim of ATT in another thread, but he has not answer.

@libertysf @anknose93 When you text someone with a US number you pay the same to text them if they are in the US, where they are isn't your concern (so if you have unlimited texting, it's free; if you pay 25 cents a text, that's what it'll be).
