DALLAS, May 23, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Whether you're staying anchored close to home this summer or planning to set sail for a fun international adventure, AT&T is making it easier—and more affordable—to keep in touch with your family and friends around the world. AT&T* today announced the launch of AT&T Cruise Ship packages and the new AT&T International Long Distance Messaging 1000 package.

Smooth Sailing with AT&T Cruise Ship Packages

• AT&T Cruise Ship Calling and Messaging: Offers 50 minutes of talk time and 100 text, picture or video messages sent for $60/month.

More Messaging, More Savings
Mobile messaging is a convenient and popular way to stay connected with family and friends who live abroad, which is why AT&T has added a new package that offers a significantly larger messaging bucket and at a greater cost savings. 

AT&T International Long Distance Messaging 1000 lets customers send up to 1000 international messages for $15 a month—that's just one-and-a-half cents per message.  The package applies to text, picture or video messages sent from the United States to international wireless numbers in more than 120 countries.****

AT&T's wireless customers enjoy a robust selection of world phones and international discount data, messaging and calling packages. In fact, AT&T was selected as the "Best Mobile Phone/Data Provider" in the 2012 Best in Business Travel Awards, conducted by Business Traveler (BT) magazine.  BT's annual survey gives readers the chance to voice their opinions in support of companies that have made their business travel even easier and more efficient.

With voice service in more than 225 countries, data coverage in more than 210 countries and ultra-fast 3G network services in more than 180 countries, AT&T customers can stay connected to the people, places and information that matter most when they travel abroad—and on their regular AT&T mobile number.

*** This offer is designed for use onboard cruise ships while at sea; therefore, usage onboard a cruise ship is required.

If you remove the cruise ship package before your monthly bill cycle ends, the included monthly minutes allotment will be reduced proportionately.
