What AT&T cellphone works in Iraq?

Question

My husband told me that AT&T cellphones work in Iraq, so he wants me to get him a phone and a plan, so he can call us from there. Does anyone know if there's a particular phone that i have to get?

Answer 1

They may have a phone and plan that works in Iraq but you'll probably want to talk to multiple AT&T people before actually spending money.  AT&T doesn't usually train their people very well,

I work for a company that partners with AT&T and we're always doing what we can to clean up their messes.

Answer 2

i use at&t and it doesnt matter the phone, only the plan and service. if he says there is service there, any phone should work as long as you have working service. if it doesnt, you can talk through the internet using a program called skype if you havent heard of it. it is like internet phone service and has no roaming or long distance charges which could be good for your situation if you need to talk to someone that far away.
