AT&T International Day Pass is a daily-fee service that lets you use your domestic plan’s talk, text, and data in over 200 countries and territories while traveling abroad. If you leave the country without an international feature, AT&T may attempt to add International Day Pass in included countries and send a confirmation text, so you avoid high pay-per-use roaming charges automatically.
What is the AT&T International Day Pass and how does it work
The AT&T International Day Pass is a daily-fee feature that allows you to use your existing domestic plan’s allowances, including talk, text, and high-speed data, while traveling in more than 200 countries. You are only charged on days you use your device, and the pass automatically applies for each 24-hour period of usage. This makes the pass a straightforward alternative to searching for local SIMs or dealing with separate international calling and plans.
How to activate the AT&T International Day Pass
- Check eligibility: verify that you are an AT&T postpaid wireless customer with a compatible device.
- Sign in to the AT&T mobile app or website using your account credentials.
- Navigate to the roaming or international options section within the app or website.
- Select the International Day Pass from the list of available roaming passes.
- Review the details and confirm your selection to complete activation.

What happens if you travel without an international plan
Without the pass, pay-per-use charges apply, and data usage alerts may be sent via email or text when you reach $100, $300, or $500 of pay-per-use charges. A data service suspension may occur at $500. If issues persist, you can call AT&T International Customer Care at +1.314.925.6925 (free from your AT&T Wireless phone). To avoid surprises, you can also use the AT&T app to check AT&T data usage text alerts and monitor your spending.
Pricing, coverage, and managing your data

For additional control, review the app’s section on managing cellular data settings to adjust roaming preferences or limit background data.
