You're looking at 50 cents to send (yes, 50 CENTS a piece) and 5 cents to receive, but you can easily get around that with unlimited e-mails through the data package. Also, the data for $2 a day is unlimited, so you can't really argue with that rate.

Ya verizon global data is a great deal. When I was in Brazil I used the verizon sim for data and bought an Oi sim for calls.
