Need help with international sim card

Okay, I took the advice of those who told me to try Verizon (in spite of our previous bad experience). We turned on the international calling plan for the billing cycle that will include the time we are there, for $40 per phone. It includes 100 minutes of voice, 100 texts, and 100 MB data. There are, of course, charges for overages, but this plan looks like a better deal than the pay-as-you-go plan offered by VZ or any of the purchased SIM cards, some of which were $80-$100 each.

Our daughter’s phone is unlocked because she has had it for three years, which is why she was able to use SIM cards in two different countries. However, for people still on their phone contracts who plan to be away for longer, it might be worth getting the company to unlock your phone so that you can install a SIM card. Either that, or buy a prepaid phone when you get there. But that looked to be the more expensive option for our short trip.

Thanks for saving me from going the stupid route.I’ll let you know whether this truly works (the saleswoman naturally promised that it would) after we return.
