The New York Times had this article about excessive data roaming charges that European customers pay when they leave their home countries.

It appears Verizon decided to get on board with what the European carriers were already doing.
I've complained twice to VZW about their new plan, but I'm not optimistic that they'll change it back. The only real option now seems to be unlocking and using a local sim card. It's a pain but Verizon's current rates effectively render the phone useless.
Idk...in case you still want to retain (the semblance of) your warranty...rooting is reversible, sim unlock is not.

we all need to create some way of official petition to get verizon to bring back the unlimited overseas data plan. i know that they will loose much more money once people start realizing the fine print of $20 a mb once they go over
Why a second phone instead of just using local SIMs?
Has anyone been able to get back on the unlimited plan? Is there any way I can get out of my contract if I can't get back on the global plan?
Hi all,
Just found out about this plan being eliminated - had I known this I would have stayed with ATT or looked at other alternatives. This unlimited global data plan to me was the biggest selling point.
Just became customer this past November and had used it during a trip to the Philippines in December.
Upcoming trip to Japan next week and will be there for 1 month+. Just called Global Support this morning to activate the plan again only to find out it had been discontinued.
Has anyone found a way or had success getting out of their contract? I feel that I have been misled - the premise under which I agreed to a 2 year contract has now changed.
No way I am going to pay 20/mb for data. ( I had a big scare while in the Philippines with a text msg saying I'd incurred $2k in roaming charges and hadn't even been there 10 hours)
Since Japan does not use SIM cards (as far as I know anyway, I had purchased an ATT Nokia 6350 last year specifically for Japan because it was CDMA or WCDMA capable), does anyone that regularly travels there have any reasonable alternatives?
Is it possible to root the D2G or whatever and get a data package from NTT Docomo or one of the other carriers?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
