• It’s just $0.25 to send a message from the U.S. to international numbers. Receiving a message from outside the U.S. is just $0.20, or deducted from your Messaging Package or MEdia bundle allowance.
• Save with an International Long Distance Texting package! Send text messages from the U.S. to more than 140 countries at a savings of up to 50%. With an AT&T MEdia bundle or Messaging package, messages received from abroad are applied towards that package’s messaging allowance.
