    Leaving for Asia and Europe on a backpacking trip for 1-3 months. I don't want to get the AT&T international plan as I've done it before and it was expensive. I want to be able to receive my AT&T calls. In the past I purchased a burner phone when I arrived and a SIM card with a small amount...

    I've scoured the forums for an answer on this! My devices, MacBook Pro, iPhone and personal iPad have been all in harmony and working just fine for years.
