I've found that generally the smartest thing to do, unless you are going to be overseas for an extended period of time (3+ weeks?) is to just get long-distance calling cards. It ends up being fairly cheap, whereas the prices for calling overseas via a cell carrier (GSM or CDMA), are prohibitive. I'm not sure how data works with foreign carriers either, but considering plain calls are so expensive, I can't imagine data would be cheap either. You can generally find Internet cafes just about anywhere these days, so if you need to get online you can do it that way...

Whenever I've traveled to Europe and Asia the only cell phones I've seen for rent are GSM, except in Korea where everything is CDMA. Alli, I would suggest talking to Verizon. I think I remember hearing that they have GSM phones to rent or borrow that may allow you to take your number with you overseas. Then again it'll probably be cheaper to rent a GSM phone while you're there. Levi Wallach wrote: > > That's not EXACTLY true.
