Can I use my iPhone 4 while traveling abroad?
Yes, customers can use iPhone for voice and text in over 40 countries with data service in over 20 countries. For service availability and rate information, visit International Roaming Rates and Coverage. When travelling outside of these 40 destinations, the Global Travel program is the perfect short-term solution for the occasional or infrequent global traveler who needs to stay in touch when travelling internationally.
Since AT&T has service to 220 countries and Verizon covers only just over 40 I'll pass on the Verizon I-Phone.The other small issue is that you will not be able to use Wi-Fi for Skype using any Verizon phone.
