Has anyone had any experience with the rental phones from Verizon while travelling in Europe? Specifically, did it work well? How much did you use the internet? Did you do a package or just pay by the minute? What did your bill look like when you got home?
I want to be able to look at flights and make last minute changes if need be. Thanks!
can't help--we don't use our phones overseas. not much need. but we do use our netbooks in room or wee-fee cafes
we have blackberry so we can't get dlnet anyway....
So what happens when your plan A fails and you have to start making changes on the fly?

I try and buy a broadband sim wherever I go and keep it. I have one for Singapore, one for HKG, and keep my Australian account open. I think you can get broadband sims from voda or virgin in the UK, and AT&T in US.
I ordered one from at&t a week before I arrived in vegas, and sure enough it arrived the day after I checked out! Such is life...
I thought Verision still used CDMA. Or are all the new phones dual band?
They are CDMA. They have world phones you can rent when you go to Europe. I was hoping I could find someone who had rented one.

Interesting, if no one answers & you do it let us know how well it works out and the cost.
If you decide not to use Version you can buy an unlocked phone here and a SIM card when you get there, and use WiFi for the net.
I rented the phone, so after I get back I'll let you know how it goes.
