Travel with iPhone on AT&T

Before you move to Verizon, look ahead to any travel outside the US.  The AT&T phones run on GSM networks, so you can swap SIM cards when abroad.  The Verizon phone is CDMA, which means you still be able to use that phone, but only by paying Verizon's international roaming rate, one of the highest there is.

Of course there is always the solution of buying a local "burn phone" and using the iPhone on wifi like an iPod Touch.

By now, the world has yet again divided in two.  Those who will stay with AT&T and those who will go to Verizon.  Don't choose sides without considering all the implications.
