Additional alert information

Types of international alerts
The following alerts are free courtesy alerts.  There is no guarantee that you'll receive them. They're not a guarantee of a particular bill limit.

  • Welcome Alert: A text message is sent to your device when it is registered abroad. If you leave the country without adding an international or travel package, we may send you a text message offering you the opportunity to purchase an AT&T Passport package simply by responding to the text.
  • Data Usage Alerts: An email and a text message may be sent when you have reached $100 and $300 of pay-per-use or overage charges.

Important international alerts information
A data service suspension may occur when you reach $500 in a bill cycle. Call Support Outside the U.S. if you wish to continue using data after receiving an alert.
