Only paid federal government employees and their families who are deployed on official business to international locations qualify for this service. Volunteer workers, such as Peace Corps and missionary work, aren't eligible.
Suspension prevents calling, texting, Web browsing, and accessing any other feature on the AT&T network other than calling 911 or AT&T at 611.
To suspend your service at the discounted rate, you'll need to provide your Federal Government orders transferring you to locations outside of the U.S.
Note: Active U.S. military personnel can cancel wireless service during military deployment.
