Traveling with Verizon

I know I will get grief for this, but I was very disappointed that my VZ phone did not work in Europe. I knew in advance that it would not work, but when I saw how well other phones worked there, and I knew that it was technologically possible, I was disappointed that my phone was useless. I knew I could take a rented phone with me, but since I was visiting several countries, that became expensive. It shouldn't be such a big deal for my phone to work.

then rent an adapter. Or rent a global phone.

Man, you're acting like you just stumbled onto something that was unknown. No, CDMA does not work on GSM networks. But it will work in some international locations.

Notice that I did not say that I did not know. I just mentioned it because it finally affected me and it was a pain in the butt.

You don't even have to "rent" it, Verizon has a Global Traveler program if you are traveling for 21 days or less and return the phone within 30 days. They will let you borrow it, for FREE!

If you came to this site before you posted, we could told you to BUY a cheap GSM phone for $30 or so and get a SIM Card from a Verizon Wireless store.
