Going to Dubai - have Droid 4 on Verizon. Can I buy local SIM card and use right away?

[AC Question]

I am travelling to Dubai for 2 weeks and I desperately need access to email - I have a Droid 4 on Verizon and was told that verizon phones are all unlocked by default. I just wanted to make sure I could just go to the airport and buy a sim card right away and use my phone!

You can - but the only 4G band it has is band 13, so you might be stuck on 3G (or even 2G) data speeds.
