Hello everyone,
In a couple weeks I'm heading to Austria for a month. I have heard that you can get local prepaid SIM cards cheaply and I was planning on buying one once I got there (for emergencies, contacting the other people I'm traveling with, etc.). What I'm wondering is if it will work in my stock, unrooted Verizon Razr Maxx. Now I think I'm somewhat tech-savvy, but I don't know a whole lot about smartphones and the research I've attempted to conduct on this topic hasn't really answered any questions. I understand I may need to call Verizon and get them to unlock the phone, but even then it might not work?? Basically, it would be great if someone who knows more about this than me can definitively say whether or not my Razr will work in Austria with a local SIM card, and if so, what steps I need to take before I leave the country to ensure that it will.
Thank you
