I have Verizon wireless and found out that they do not use GSM technology and my cell phone will not work in Germany. I will be there for 10 days. Verizon offers a rental phone for $3.99 a day/ $1.49 a minute and a $22.00 shipping charge + my return shipping costs. That works out to at least $62 before I use one minute.
Are there cheaper alternatives? Prepaid minutes would be fine.
