I'm only going to be gone for 5 days so I'm not going down the rabbit hole of changing my rate plan.

So........

What do y'all do when traveling abroad?
What are my options?

I also have an AT&T phone (iPhone). A few months ago, I met up with some friends from Canada in AZ. Since their cell phones were Canadian numbers, I just added a Canadian calling plan for about $4.99 a month and then cancelled it about a week later. I think AT&T's offerings may have changed recently but I'm pretty sure you can just add what you need and drop it when you no longer need it.

Also, I added the service over the phone with an AT&T rep. but I was able to cancel it right from the iPhone using the free AT&T app.
