Ok, not to go too far off here, but I just returned from the UK. I took my Verizon (non-MB) Timeport phone which the sales rep told me would work in Europe when I purchased it. It was very important to me that I could roam in Europe and I was happy with my supposed "tri-mode" phone. Well guess what? That's right - it didn't work at all. It wasn't a problem with not having an account - it just didn't get any signal at all. I tried it off and on from Manchester to London and not a single signal block. Just so I know next time I buy a phone, does anyone know which of those acronyms would I need to get a phone to work in Europe? I called Verizon to find out why it didn't work but I doubt the rep could locate Britain on a map, much less tell me why my phone wouldn't work.

The installation part always keep me from getting a radar.

Does anyone have the v60c with the command?
I've been trying to figure this out:
If I am on a call and someone else calls me I hear the call waiting beep...I'm trying to figure out how to see the second incomming calls caller ID/name on the command screen!?
Thanks!
Jim

You don't see it becuase you can't...
Design flaw ? Maybe. Hopefully one day a COMAND software update may fix this.

no way will a verizon phone work in europe... shame on both you and your sales rep for being so silly to think that.
an educated consumer/best customer.
Verizon does offer a rental program for a coupe bucks a day for euro travel, but if you travel often, then you should opt for a gsm provider (voice stream)

if you want the phone to work abroad it must be 900/1800/1900 MHs GSM.
