AT&T Introduces Pay-As-You-Go International Data Packages for Laptops and Netbooks



Customers Benefit from More Flexibility, More Choice; More Ways to Manage Data Needs Abroad



DALLAS, Oct. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- AT&T* today announced the launch of AT&T DataConnect Pass Global - a lineup of international pay-as-you-go data packages now available on AT&T-certified laptops and netbooks. The announcement expands AT&T's portfolio of pay-as-you-go data services, providing domestic and now international data passes designed to meet individual needs and budgets without a long-term commitment.



Ideal for international business travelers and vacationers alike, the passes provide data coverage in more than 100 countries, including Canada, Mexico, countries in the Americas, Europe and Asia. Available in 30-day session increments, packages can help travelers better manage their data usage abroad and at rates significantly lower than pay-per-use service. Data packages include:



* DataConnect Pass Global 20MB for $24.99

* DataConnect Pass Global 50MB for $59.99

* DataConnect Pass Global 100MB for $119.99

* DataConnect Pass Global 200MB for $199.99





Data sessions may be purchased at Buy an AT&T DataConnect Pass Session, using a credit card or a debit card. Customers can also bill the charges to their wireless bill provided the postpaid wireless account has been active more than 90 days and has no past due charges. Set up is easy: customers create a username and password, provide their laptop or netbook SIM card and device serial numbers, complete the billing information and select the desired data package.



Once purchased, customers have the flexibility to specify when they want the 30-day session to begin, based on their travel itinerary. As a helpful reminder, customers will receive a courtesy text and email when their plan is close to expiring or when they are close to depleting the amount of data available with their session.



International packages are available to existing AT&T netbook or laptop customers. For complete details, visit AT&T DataConnect Pass Sessions.
