AT&T today announced a new package deal that will give customers traveling abroad 50 messages to send for a flat rate of $10 per month. Users can send SMS text or MMS messages with pictures and video. That flat rate translates to $0.20 per message if a user takes advantage and sends a full 50 messages per month, compared to the normal $0.50 per message charge on an international roaming, pay-per-use plan. If customers exceed 50 messages, they will pay $0.40 per message over the limit. The new flat rate doesn't cover received messages, which are still charged at the normal rate. It only covers outgoing messages. AT&T subscribers can add the Global Messaging 50 Package to their current calling plan starting tomorrow, March 20.
