Re: Traveling Abroad

FYI...
Parents just took a trip to Paris, and after some research, found that it would be cheaper to use my father's storm for data using VZW (said data was dirt cheap), and then buy some cheap phone cards or a throw-away preloaded phone for limited voice.

In any case, if you tell VZW that you're going to England/France, they're likely going to say that you need to use VZW service or it's partner's. Tell them you're going somewhere way off the grid...I didn't even go anywhere, and I just told the rep that I was going to Budapest for a week, and they immediately said "We don't have service there, but if you would like, you can purchase another SIM...*unlock code follows*"

Just $0.02
