You can take as many photos as you want with the camera on your phone, and you can store them on your phone without being charged for roaming. If you email or text the photos to friends back home or put them on Facebook, for example, that would result in roaming charges. Let us know if you have any other questions and have a good trip!

Sincerely,
Craig Nelson

If you are using your phone with a Passport plan, your number doesn’t change at all. She should just dial your number as she would back home.

I hope that helps!
Tom

Does my sister in the US call my usual 10-digit number to TEXT me or what, like (UK code) 44 + (UK city code) xxxx + my number xxx xxx xxxx? And, what numbers does she enter to CALL me for live talk? AT&T web pages do not answer those questions, and calling them for info has resulted in conflicting answers. Many thanks!
