Unlimited overseas long distance and international texting has arrived

By david | Posted July 15th, 2010

Beginning today, talking and texting to countries outside of North America just got easier.

For just $15 per month you can add the unlimited overseas long distance feature to your existing $40 plan allowing you to dial 45 countries and have unlimited talk with your family and friends.

We’ve seen the blog comments asking us to add countries such as Haiti, Jamaica, Lebanon, Pakistan, Philippines, Bangladesh,  Sri Lanka, Tanzania, Guyana, Trinidad, Algeria St. Vincent, Iraq, Bahamas, Morocco and more. We are working hard and doing our best to add more countries; we most recently added Guadeloupe to the list, as well as adding mobile phones in Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands and Guam.  As much as we’d always like to be adding countries to the overseas long distance plan, sometimes conditions beyond our control necessitate removing a country. We’re sorry to let you know this past week we had to remove Jordan from the plan due to a Jordanian government tax that was implemented that affected the connection charges.  We will continue to update you as we add new countries.

In addition to launching overseas long distance, we’re also adding international text to the $40 plan tomorrow which will allow you to send texts to 190 countries around the world. For all those asking us to add additional countries to the overseas long distance feature, take a look at the list of countries we provide international texting to. Many of the countries you’ve asked for are now included, so you’ll be able to text friends and family around the world as part of our unlimited talk and text plan.
