Question
if i want to use my lgvu in thailand what do i need to do? my carrier is at&t.

Answer
Contact AT&T and ask them to add discounted international roaming to your account. It will cost you $5.99 a month and then calls that you make or receive (from anyone anywhere, even to voice mail) will cost you a per minute charge of $1.29 per minute plus taxes. If you haven't had service for 90 days or longer, AT&T will not enable international roaming for you. If you have and you are in good standing, it should not be a problem. If you don't want to pay the $5.99 a month, then just have them enable international roaming. The charge per minute will then be $1.99 instead of $1.29. Thanks. DebiN
