Will I get service in Egypt?

Question

I have an lg vx9400 for verizon wireless. its not global or anything. im going to egypt in february. Will i be able to call someone in america? Will it be considered roaming?

Answer 1

Call customer service (dial *611 on your cell phone) and see if you can use it abroad (maybe they will have discount rate plans).  I have Verizon Wireless and I didn't have any service when I tried to call out of Egypt; HOWEVER, I didn't think to call customer service before I travelled.  But still, I don't think I would have been able to, unless I had bought or rented one of their global phones with an SIM card.  If customer service says that you cannot, then you will need to buy or rent (whichever is best for you) the Verizon Global Phone.
