So, will I be able to use my Verizon Ultra while in Australia using the dual SIM feature? Or is that not something that'll be available to Verizon customers?
If the model you have supports the Australian carrier's frequencies (and the phone is unlocked, which if it's a Verizon unit, should be after a few months) then yup, you would be able to use the second SIM for it.
Yup, I meant on the Verizon network (they used to be unlocked right out of the box but to avoid re-sales of promotional phones they started doing that 'blackout' period now). You should be able to check the status somewhere in your phone's settings (can't remember where though, I have a factory-unlocked model) or by calling Verizion. If it's a dual-SIM phone, however, it's usually meant so you can use a second SIM for travel so it shouldn't be a problem. Worst case they can always apply a temporary unlock for the duration of your trip but, again, that shouldn't be a problem.
I used to use two SIM cards to separate work relationships and personal ones.
