AT&T Passport Helps Minimize Data Charges

AT&T Passport is a companion app of the company’s international Passport Plan. AT&T is offering different international packages with unlimited text messaging, call services, WiFi access, and limited data allocation.

You can only use the Passport app if you buy one of the international packages of AT&T. You have to register the app first in order to activate the international hotspot access. After registration, your app is ready and you can now find affiliate network hotspots when you travel abroad.

This app automatically detects participating WiFi hotspots in a foreign country. You can manually connect to the hotspot and enjoy log-in free authenticated access. The app displays hotspots in a map and offers a detailed list of locations. So whenever you’re in range of a hotspot signal, simply connect your device using the app in order to enjoy free WiFi access.

Take note that not all countries and major cities are covered by AT&T's Passport Plan packages. So before you buy a plan, make sure that your destination is included in the company’s hotspot list.
