International trip - need a suggestion
Hi all,
I will be taking a trip to the bahamas and I understand my vzw phone will not work there. What is the deal with global rentals? How does that work?
Any other suggestions?
Thanks
Mark

Mark,
You might want to check with a Verizon company store and rent from them a phone that WILL work in the Bahamas. I believe it is a GSM handset that will work there, and your charges will appear on your Verizon bill.
I went to St. Lucia a few years ago for the jazz festival, and a buddy of mine who joined me took his Verizon (then Bell Atlantic Mobile) phone with him. He used it, but he had to put down a refundable $500 deposit to access the service, and the airtime was not cheap. Things may have changed a little since 1998 in that regard, so the VZW company store would be your best bet, or you could contact the customer service department @ 1-800-922-0204 or 611 from your wireless phone for details.
I hope that helps you ...
