Still getting ripped off as a global phone.

**jlee91780** · 06-29-2012, 03:46 AM

Someone please correct me, but this global phone thing really means nothing especially if you were previously going to countries already supported. I thought it would mean you could go to the local convenience store in a lot of countries, get a sim card, and swap it in and make phones calls for cheap. Instead, so far it still means rip off texts at 50 cents a pieces, phone calls for $2 a minute, and scant data for $20.

You should know rip-offs.

If and when other countries start supporting lte. You will be able to get your phone unlocked from Verizon, insert a local sim and get cost effective service. But that's still a ways out. It will eventually be the same as all the other "global" phones

P3droid has a razr running on at&t so the GSM radios are there just a matter of getting a greedy company to let you use them. Maybe if you sign up for the new share more of your wallet plans they would reward you. I never leave the country so not a biggie for me.

So it is true I can insert a local sim card? I don't need data but would be nice to make calls on the Razr. I can't believe this device was originally what they called a world phone and they didn't advertise this feature at all.

Who cares about what is advertised? According to you, it doesn't matter how you advertise something, right?

Of course I care what's advertised by these companies. I just don't care what's advertised by myself. After all, I'm trying to dump off the junk they are selling us.

Apparently, they don't care either. So, you're even.
