Verizon says update, phone says it is, stuck without access internationally

Yeah that's fine if you are only away for a short period and not making any of lengthy calls; but if you are overseas for say, a month or so it may be cheaper to buy a sim card from a pay as you go carrier. Don't know the rates but I know that in the US you can get an unlimited everything card from straight talk for 45 bucks a month.

You would spend that much just talking 30 minutes in a month at 1.5 cents a minute....
