What do I need to do to unlock my VZW TP2 for SIM use?
- I have to call VZW and ask for 2 unlock codes?
- What does this do? Unlocks the VZW TP2 so I can use the VZW provided SIM card in other countries, or I can use another int'l SIM card?
Is my GSM capabilities locked (for int'l use) until I call VZW support?
Will I be able to technically use AT&T SIM card on US-GSM networks without roaming?
Should I use the VZW-provided SIM, or get a pre-paid int'l card? (I assume pre-paid is best/cheaper).
I ask because I'm traveling soon. Thanks!

You need to call them if you want to unlock the phone to use 3rd party SIM cards, other than the one pre-installed in the phone, including US based SIM cards. The billing is handled through the SIM card provider in which you select. Pre-paid will be cheaper internationally, but check Verizon's website for rate info.
