AT&T seems to have changed the international day plan. Additional lines are $5 a day. Also the charge for the first 10 uses and after that it no longer costs anything during a pay cycle, so for one line, the extra charge per cycle is $100. I have it right now and can confirm that my monthly changes have gone up by $100 per month for continuous use. Still not sustainable really. Will look into your other suggestions. Tried a local SIM card. What a pain – I have to change my iPhone to be only for Germany and lose access to the Apple Store in the US. Maybe even lose the apps that aren’t shared in both countries. Question is: can my german friends call me without charges on an international plan with AT&T? I’m guessing not but it’s not clear. Interestingly, when on Wifi, my carrier is actually AT&T and I can dial as I normally would to US number without the international prefix.

I was so disappointed with my AT&T International Travel Plan. Although I was able to write texts, I did not know that I could not make calls to the US. Several days later I received an emergency text from my family. To my surprise, my call to the US failed may times. I called the tech dept per the instructions. Tech was on the phone for an hr (on my vacation) & she could not resolve the problem. Unfortunately I received another call from tech at midnight, waking me up & I could not fall asleep again.
Last week I called AT&T & the representative assured me that I would not be charged the $100 because of this failure to call to the US.
Today I looked at my bill online & I was definitely charged for the AT&T Travel Plan. When I called AT&T the representative would not refund me. She offered me $50. I asked to speak to her supervisor (I have the supervisor’s id #) The rep said she could offer me $70. When I finally spoke to the supervisor, she said that because I rejected the $70, she would only give me back $50.
So outrageous!
