    Is there anywhere I can find out what country's will I be able to use Verizon data on either GSM or CDMA? Or is all international data use strictly GSM?

    What I was thinking was that if I went overseas with my Storm(Tour), I would be able to pop in a local SIM and make calls at the local rates. But if the Verizon SIM is required to use data then I wouldn't be able to do both at the same time. But I was thinking if in certain countries data is fed through CDMA then perhaps I can have my data piping through CDMA and also have a local GSM SIM for my local calls.

    Did any of that make sense?

    Basically if I can do that then I'll add on the international data plan for when I'm overseas and the revert back when I'm home but if I can't do that then I won't change a thing on my plan.

    Thanks in advance

    It all depends on where you're traveling. From what I understand:

    CDMA is mainly US and Canada, (and maybe Mexico)
    GSM is most of Europe and Middle East.
    I believe Asia has a different technology. Please correct me if I'm wrong here.

    If you go to the International Services pages on the VZW page, it'll tell you what countries you can use their phones.
