In the past only ATT and Tmobile used sim cards, for GSM 3g and 4g service.

Verizon and Sprint used CDMA, which did not use a sim card.

Now there is LTE, which is used with a sim card. But there are different frequencies and your Verizon phone might not be unlocked or be able to be used in Europe, with foreign sim card.

So I would call Verizon and see if the phone can be used overseas.

My D took her unlocked GSM android phone to Germany this summer and bought a local sim card. But she mostly used wifi to send us texts over whatsapp.
