Sheree from the Mobile Internet Resource Center explains AT&T's updated International Day Pass, which allows US smartphone plan usage abroad for $10 per 24-hour period, enabling access to data, mobile hotspots, calls, and texts in over 200 countries. Family plans benefit from discounted rates, and there is a 10-day billing cap to reduce costs for extended trips. However, this service is not available for prepaid, subsidiary, or MVNO plans, and business lines lack the billing cap. The pass must be activated prior to travel and is billed automatically upon first international use, though manual tracking is necessary. There are exemptions for travel in Canada and Mexico on certain plans. The video also compares AT&T's offer with T-Mobile’s free but slower international data and Verizon’s 500 MB/day limit, noting AT&T's option is advantageous for summer travel starting July 14th.

In this segment of the video, Sheree from the Mobile Internet Resource Center discusses AT&T’s new International Day Passes, which simplify staying connected overseas by allowing the use of your US smartphone plan internationally for a daily fee of $10. The pass is available for smartphones only, not for data-only devices or tablets. Key features include the ability to use all aspects of your US plan, such as data, mobile hotspot, calls, and texts, in over 200 countries. Additionally, if multiple people on a family plan activate a day pass within the same 24-hour period, subsequent passes are discounted to $5 per day. Notably, there’s now a 10-day billing cap, making international connectivity more cost-effective, especially for extended travel. These changes apply to consumer postpaid plans and legacy AT&T smartphone plans but not to prepaid, subsidiary, or MVNO plans. Business lines receive a similar discount for up to four lines but do not benefit from the 10-day billing cap.

In this part of the video, the speaker explains AT&T’s International Day Pass service, which costs $10 for 24 hours of international phone usage including voice, text, and data. Users must activate this feature online or through customer care before traveling. The service is automatically billed when first used abroad, but users need to track their 24-hour usage period manually. The Day Pass can be turned off if not needed, and is not necessary for travel in Canada or Mexico on some plans that already offer free roaming. The speaker also notes that AT&T has removed a previous clause about disabling international roaming if used as a primary service for over two months. Comparisons are made with T-Mobile and Verizon, indicating T-Mobile offers free but slow international data and Verizon has a 500 MB/day limit with their day pass. The new AT&T option is highlighted as beneficial for summer travel, effective from July 14th.
