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

Hahaa...hmmm. so they won't unlock the SIM unless you are going to a place where they don't have a partnership coverage?
