AT&T Wireless has added two more international data plans for the iPhone and now offer travelers a total of four (see chart below to compare). The two new plans are $119.99 for 100 MB and $199.99 for 200 MB per month. The costs are in addition to the original US data plans that iPhone owners already pay for.
The AT&T iPhone international data plans cover an initial 65 countries (AT&T has coverage in 200 countries). The cost of data outside of those 65 countries is on a per kilobyte basis (see chart below). A list of the included 65 countries is after the break.
While the international data plan prices are still exorbitant for most people, they are at least a step up from previous prices and may seem more reasonable to business travelers who expense these costs anyways. In the past, 200 MB would have cost travelers a total of $827.90 ($59.99 for an initial 50MB plus $768 for the extra 150MB).
| Price per month | Initial Bulk Data | No. of Countries | Extra Data | Data Outside of Included Countries |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $24.99 | 20MB | 65 | $0.005 per kb ($5.12 per MB) | $0.0195 per kb ($19.97 per MB) |
| $59.99 | 50MB | 65 | $0.005 per kb ($5.12 per MB) | $0.010 per kb ($10.24 per MB) |
| $119.99 | 100MB | 65 | $0.005 per kb ($5.12 per MB) | $0.010 per kb ($10.24 per MB) |
| $199.99 | 200MB | 65 | $0.005 per kb ($5.12 per MB) | $0.010 per kb ($10.24 per MB) |
Note: 1 megabyte (MB) = 1024 kilobytes (kb).
