Hello everyone, I have not posted yet so please be kind if I am not doing it right. I travel internationally a lot and I am with Verizon. I have the Blackberry World phone (8830) with the international calling and data plan. My emails are free (with the plan), texts I think are about .50 but my call roaming is $1.49 per minute.

Are there any other options out there to use my phone in other countries but not rack up a $250-350 phone bill in additional call roaming charges alone?

Thank you as I really love Verizon, my phone works great in every country so far but the roaming call rates are killing me! This month my bill was $470 !

Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you
