verizon gives you an option to have it global or not . if not you pau for 1 data package if global you need domestic package (min 30/month) and an international at an additional 30 a month even if you only go to europe for 2 weeks. Thats the issue I am concerned about. for $360 i can rent a satelite phone

I know AT&T have a European phone plan for the iPhone but their phone has always worked in Europe.
