Thanks for sharing that you are going to pass, I really don't care.

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.

I've used Skype plus WIFI on my Verizon HTC incredible in Austria (no CDMA there). YMMV.
Verizon has a number of Dual and Quad band phones in addition to CMDA on them. My AT&T reception is terrible at home and would switch to Verizon tomorrow if GSM was also available on the I-Phone. |

I do sometimes. It depends on the country, but I typically turn it on to receive texts and emergency phone calls from my family.
But it's good to have the roaming if you really need it. Just be aware of the cost per minute if you answer or place a call. |

I do the same. It doesn't cost anything to turn it on for roaming, just be sure to disable the data and push notifications. (I think that's it) If I get a call I usually reply via Skype, and I can read texts, but it's expensive to reply. So again, I wait until I've got wifi.

$.50 to send a text, can't remember what it is to receive. Texting and then Skype is a great way to stay connected and having the phone on t=for the emergency call gives everyone peace of mind.
