AT&T announced the availability of a new application today called AT&T Call International.

The application also works abroad, and will let AT&T smartphone customers make calls from foreign countries to the U.S. via Wi-Fi for rates that are lower than its standard roaming cellular voice minutes. The application itself is free to download, and is available from the Android Market, BlackBerry App World, and the iPhone App Store. Calling rates vary by country, and are billed directly to customers' credit cards.

I have a better idea

I have a better idea. If you have Android, get an app called GrooVe IP, or, if you have an iPhone, get an app called Talkatone, set them up with a Google Voice account, and make VoIP calls at Google Voice rates, which I'm sure are going to be lower than what AT&T charges. And, since calls from your Google Voice number to other U.S. numbers are free, you won't have to pay to call back home when you're overseas.

International roaming charges are based on what network you're using when you make/receive a call, not what number you called. If you making a call while roaming overseas, you will pay international roaming charges.
