    Update from vacation. Emailed Verizon and told them I had the Global RUU loaded on my phone and they said there was something on my account that would not let my phone access internationally. They removed this from my account and I'm now connected GSM to the VINI network using my Verizon Rezound...

    Going to GSM Country, hopefully rezound works?

    Well I'm here on vacation and my phone has no service. They say I can get a Vini SIM at the post office, but thought since I had the Global update on my phone it would work.

    Going to GSM Country, hopefully rezound works?

    Well will be leaving for a vacation to a GSM country, so hopefully my Rezound with the Global leak will work without any issues. I may try to buy a SIM card from the country I'll be in, but was hoping the phone will work with the current verizon SIM. I know it will cost more, but just in case I...

    Thanks acejavelin, I used Astro file manager and it looks like the file was in the wrong location. I moved it and it seems to be working now, so I'll post later once it updates.

    Anyone use their Rezound in Europe with a Prepaid SIM?

    I've tried to manually update to the Global Leak, but have not had any success. I'm stock with the latest OTA update. I downloaded the Global Leak and renamed it PH98IMG.zip, put it on the ext_sd, turned on holding the volume down plus Power then it takes me to the HBoot screen where it starts...

    Anyone use their Rezound in Europe with a Prepaid SIM?

    Hopefully this happens before the end of November when I leave for my trip which will require GSM radios. I purchased this phone after seeing on the Verizon website that it would soon be Global and that was months ago.
