How do I check and turn on AT&T international roaming before travel?
Answer
For AT&T international roaming concerns, sign in to myAT&T, open the wireless line details, and confirm whether International Roaming or an international day pass / travel plan is enabled for that line.
Before you start: stop right away if…
- International roaming can add daily or per-use charges; confirm pricing in myAT&T before enabling features.
Follow these steps
Sign in to myAT&T line details
Open the official myAT&T website or app, sign in, and open the wireless line you will use abroad.
You should see: You see that line’s plan, features, and roaming-related options.
Check international roaming or travel pass status
Look for International Roaming, International Day Pass, or similar travel features on the line. Turn the feature on if it is available and currently off, and confirm any daily or plan charges shown.
You should see: Roaming or a travel pass shows as active for the trip, or you know it is not included.
Enable roaming on the phone
On iPhone, open Settings > Cellular (or Mobile Data) and turn on Data Roaming while abroad if needed. On Android, open Settings > Network & internet (or Connections) > Mobile network and enable Data roaming.
You should see: The phone’s roaming toggles match how you want to use data overseas.
Test service and contact AT&T if still blocked
After landing or after the feature activates, check signal and a simple data or call test. If myAT&T shows roaming on but the phone still has no service, contact AT&T support from Wi‑Fi with the line number and destination country.
You should see: Service works abroad, or AT&T can provision or explain the block.

Extra tips
What to look for: International Roaming or travel-pass status on the myAT&T line page, and Data Roaming / Mobile Data settings on the phone
Before you change anything: Note the phone number and whether you are on prepaid or postpaid AT&T. Check travel dates and destination country against AT&T coverage tools. Expect possible roaming charges unless a travel pass or included plan applies. Never share account passwords or one-time codes with unexpected callers.
