AT&T and Rogers to offer reciprocal roaming deal for subscribers

Lucky AT&T subcribers who come to Canada for business or pleasure will soon be able to get 4G-LTE data speed thanks to a new deal with Rogers. The release states that 42 per cent of AT&T's subscribers are using LTE-enabled devices.

AT&T customers can select from one of three Data Global Add-On packages that offer discounted rates in Canada and over 150 countries – 120MB for $30/mo; 300MB for $60/mo; and 800MB for $120/mo. What about Canadians going to the US? No cigar. Seems the deal isn't mutually exclusive, yet.
