AT&T Expands International Data Offerings for iPhone

More Data in More Countries for iPhone Users Traveling Abroad

AT&T Inc. today announced expanded international data offerings to help keep iPhone customers connected around the world. Beginning tomorrow, AT&T will offer two new plans that accommodate iPhone customers' increasing reliance on data services while traveling abroad. The two new plans, which offer 100 megabytes (MB) or 200 MB a month, can potentially save customers hundreds of dollars compared to pay-per-use international data roaming charges.

For discounted international data usage in 67 countries(1), the 100 MB iPhone plan is available for an additional $119.99 a month, while the 200 MB plan costs an additional $199.99 a month(2). These new plans are in addition to existing plans for smartphones, including iPhone, which offer 20 MB and 50 MB in the same countries. There are no long-term commitments required, so customers can add or remove these plans to their existing packages on an as-needed basis.

"AT&T has worked diligently to provide affordable options for international roaming because the feature-rich mobile experience of iPhone is indispensable to users," said Bill Hague, executive vice president of International for AT&T's wireless operations. "With these new international data plans, iPhone users can access more data in more countries for less cost."

AOC Releases Three Newly Designed HDTVs

For TVs, size matters, but definition is more important, so AOC developed their Envision Series for an urban digital lifestyle with the L19W861, a 19” High Definition LCDTV, the L26W861, a 26” High Definition LCDTV, and the L32W861, a 32” High Definition LCDTVs.

“This line of HDTVs are designed to fit the needs of consumers in an urban living environment, with sizes and resolutions specifically tailored for optimum viewing with limited space,” said Robert Velez, Marketing Manager of AOC. “They are designed to look cool in any room and meet the demands of how today’s consumers use TVs, such as HD gaming in a bedroom, watching TV in the kitchen, or a movie in the den,” added Velez.

Small space; hooked to your TV

The L19W861 is the right fit for a video lover who spends a fair amount of time in small spaces such as a home office or kitchen. This 19” LCDTV is designed for smaller living spaces and can be used as an HD PC monitor. Priced at $299.00, the L19W861 is great for viewers interested in gaming, movies, and everyday PC usage.

Medium space; game station

The L26W861 is perfect for any type of living space, with a sleek size and at an affordable price of $499.00, the 26” LCDTV is made to fit the needs of consumers that want simple elegance. This TV has both quality, in terms of High Definition, and quantity, in terms of how much money is saved.

Large urban space; for movie time

The L32W861 brings movies to life, causing viewers to get lost in liquid crystal. High Definition is now reachable to consumers that don’t have thousands of dollars to spend, because of its low MSRP of $599.00.

It’s 3 A.M. – Are You Checking Your Email Again?

Fourth Annual Email Addiction Survey from AOL Mail Reveals More Americans are Checking Email While Driving, in the Bathroom, on Vacation, in Church

New York, Houston & Chicago Top List of Cities “Most Addicted” to Email

If you check your email in the middle of the night or even while driving, you’re not alone. According to AOL Mail’s fourth annual Email Addiction Survey, nearly half (46%) of email users said they’re hooked on email (up from just 15% last year) and 51% check their email four or more times a day (up from 45% in 2007). One in five said they check their email more than 10 times a day. Full results can be found at http://www.CrazyForEmail.com.

More than one-quarter (27%) are so overwhelmed by their email that they’ve either declared “email bankruptcy,” deleting all their email messages to start anew, or they’re seriously thinking about doing so. Maybe it’s because 20% of users said they have over 300 emails in their inboxes!

To start fresh, 24% admit they’ve signed up for a new email address. It comes as no surprise then that 69% of email users said they have multiple email accounts, up from 52% in 2007. To get a new email address, including NAME@CrazyForEmail.com, just visit http://MyeAddress.com.

“We really do live in a 24-7 society and it’s not uncommon to be online and checking email at all hours of the day,” said Regina Lewis, AOL Online Consumer Advisor. “Sometimes we need to take a step back and refresh with an empty inbox or even a new inbox altogether to clear our mind and focus on those emails and relationships that are most important to us.”
