I have a friend abroad and we often text each other. I get unlimited messaging, for one flat rate with Cingular (AT&T), but does that include international texting too? Because, after all, a text is a text. But I know some other people still pay for texting, but they did not specify if they get unlimited texting like I do.

No, that does not include international texting. You might want to consider adding a texting international plan to your account.



QUESTION: What is the pricing for international text messaging?

How much does it cost to send an international text message?

What is the international long distance text messaging package?



ANSWER:



Sending an international text message from the U.S.:



It’s just $0.25 to send a text message from the U.S. to an international number. And for those who send text messages often to family or friends overseas, AT&T’s International Long Distance Text Messaging package includes 100 text messages sent from the U.S. for $9.99 a month. That’s as little as $0.10 per message sent! See below for pricing on messages received from an international number.

You can add the international long distance text messaging package to your account online within myWireless Account by visiting Manage Features (logged in users only).



Sending an international text message from outside the U.S.:



When traveling outside the U.S., the charge for sending a text message to either a U.S. number or an international number is $0.50 per message sent.



Receiving an international text message:



Text messages that you receive from an international number will be billed one of two ways: 1) Deducted from your bucket of messages if you have a domestic messaging package (for example, Messaging Starter); or 2) Billed at the per use rate of $0.15 per text message.

They cost extra. It's 0.25 out/0.15 in. You can buy an international texting package for a little less.
