EE UK Now Allows 4G LTE Roaming For AT&T Subscribers

AT&T subscribers who travel across the pond frequently and feel the need to be connected to 4G LTE rejoice, U.S.A’s second largest carrier has struck a deal with UK’s EE through which its subscribers will be able to roam 4G LTE. This is the second international destination where AT&T subscribers can now roam on the fastest mobile data networks, the first deal was struck a couple of weeks back with Rogers of Canada. With this deal, EE becomes the first carrier in the UK to offer inbound 4G roaming, it plans to partner up with additional international carriers early next year.

EE has the biggest 4G LTE network in the UK, covering more than 160 towns and cities the end of December, 2013. In major cities, the average speeds offered flicker between 24-30 Mbps. Those in the UK who subscribe to EE will be able to roam 4G LTE as well when travelling abroad in the first half of 2014. It hasn’t been detailed how much 4G LTE roaming on EE will cost AT&T subscribers, but we certainly can’t expect it to be cheap. If you can do without LTE, there are a number of prepaid carriers in the UK which offer comprehensive 3G plans, perhaps they might offer more bang for your pound sterling.

    AT&T Teams Up With Rogers To Offer 4G LTE Roaming In Canada

    AT&T Teams Up With Rogers To Offer 4G LTE Roaming In Canada

    AT&T today earned some serious bragging rights, it has teamed up with Rogers of Canada to become the first major U.S. carrier to offer international 4G LTE data roaming. AT&T subscribers that find themselves in Canada will now be able to enjoy data roaming on 4G LTE speeds. Data will obviously run through Rogers’ LTE network in the country, which AT&T describers as being the fastest in Canada. The company claims that Rogers LTE network reaches almost 70 percent of all Canadians and that it continues to expand.

    Subscribers won’t have to upgrade to another smartphone, AT&T says that its existing LTE compatible smartphones will be able to take advantage of this new service. However, there will be a price to pay for international data roaming at 4G LTE speeds. 120MB for $30 per month, 300MB for $60 per month and 800MB for $120 per month. Unless you plan on streaming video and music or downloading large files, these data packages should last long enough. However they won’t last long if you do data intensive tasks, which would result in you running up quite a tab. The best option would obviously be to get a SIM from a local carrier whenever you’re visiting Canada, but if 4G LTE is absolutely necessary, then AT&T is the way to go.
