I thought Verizon (being CDMA) is actually worse to have if you are going out of the country versus GSM providers that use SIM cards

I think what he's talking about here Jim is you can pay a 10 per month fee, and it kind of puts your account on hold while you're out of the country and can't use it. That way you don't get hit with the full bill while you're gone. Seems I read something about that somewhere
