I'm planning a trip out of the country in January, and I have a Droid 2 Global (soon to be a Droid Razr M). I know that Verizon lets you use their world phone when travelling but to me the rates are insane. Has anyone tried using a internationally sim card in a verizon world phone while traveling out of the USA? Is it even possible?
Only if you get it unlocked.Quote:

Just have to call their customer support/global support to get it unlocked. Although you may or may not only ever have 2 bars of signal. Doesn't make a huge difference though.
Breakfast beats worrying.
It would be better if you directly come in contact with Verizon’s Wireless Global Support Team because SIM unlocking procedure will be completed by team.
If you want SIM unlocking, the company wants following qualifications.
1. Must be a Verizon Wireless customer
2. The device being unlocked must be active on a Verizon Wireless line of service.
3. The line of service must be active at least 60 days.
4. The line of service must be in good standing for the past 60 days.
5. Only one SIM Unlock per line every 10 months.
6. The customer's manufacturer's device warranty is not affected by a SIM unlock as long as the customer remains with Verizon Wireless.
Thanks for the replies
I don't know if Droid Razr M is the same as the Razr Maxx, but the answer is absolutely yes, you can use a foreign SIM in it, and it's not locked. I just returned from 24 days in Italy and had no problems using the Razr Maxx with an Italian SIM.
I went to the cellular provider's store and bought the SIM card, they inserted the card and set up all the techy stuff I don't understand, and I had an Italian phone number and 3G with no roaming charges. When I got back to the US, I just powered the phone off and re-inserted the Verizon SIM, powered up and I was right back onto my Verizon plan.
Have a safe trip!
Yes you can put a International SIM card in version world phone. You just have to unlock it first. To know more about the procedure you can call customer support of verizon worlds phone.
I am also having an international SIM card from Tsim. I unlocked my phone for using an international SIM card. Call the customer care support of version worlds phone they will explain you the complete process of unlocking it.
