Landing Gear I just can not agree with your statement. You need to use two different phones is because Verizon uses CDMA and Orange uses GSM. VZW works only in the good ole USA while GSM works virtually everywhere. While we don't know the OP's phone, we have all assumed that proper homework was done and the OP has either a tri or quad band GSM phone that works in the USA.
Going with Verizon prepaid would set the OP back at least $125 for a phone. Mighty expensive IMO. Mighty expensive when a Tmobile SIM card on eBay with $30 credit goes for approx. $10 including shipping.
