Can I use my Iphone in Buenos Aires, Argentina?
I'm going to be going to buenos aires for about 6 months as a student. i have an iphone and was wondering if i would be able to use it as i use it here (i.e texting, calling, email, web browsing). would the apps that i have run as they always do? according to the AT&T website, the world traveler package is $5.99 but im unsure what that package includes. would i be able to call/text family here in the states? or would that be considered international calling and charge me crazy amounts. im so confused!! please help!

There are seperate international roaming features for airtime, data and text messaging. The World Traveler package is $5.99/month and gives you a discounted rate when placing calls while roaming in Argentina. The discounted rate is $1.99/minute. If you didn't have the World Traveler package, the calls would cost $2.29/minute. If friends and family from back home call your cell phone they are not billed anything additional but you would be billed the $1.99/minute to place a call home because you are roaming on international towers. Text messages you send cost $0.50. Any text messages you receive count against what is included in your current text messaging plan. If you have unlimited text messaging, there would be not deduction for text messages received. If you don't have a text messaging plan, each text would be billed at $0.20 received. Picture and video messages are $1.30 per message sent. There are several data packages available for the iPhone when travelling internationally. The $30 data unlimited plan you currently have does not cover international travel, so you will need to look into the available international data plans in order to avoid overages. $24.99/month - 20 MB $59.99/month - 50 MB $119.99/month - 100 MB $199.99/month -200 MB To figure out what data plan would suit you best, you may want to call customer service at 1800-331-0500 to ask what your typical data usage is like. A customer service rep. can add these international plans for you.
