Is the Razr compatible with European networks, and can I call, text and email back to the US on the phone?
Thanks
I can only speak of Italy. I was just there last May .. The only way I was able to use my Razr was at WiFi hotspots ... But that was OK, and in fact much cheaper than paying extortion fees charged for roaming, even if I could. (If you look at the VZN web site, you can see those charges - very very expensive, IMHO). WiFi hoptspots were everywhere in Italy. Every hotel we stayed in had free WiFi - you just needed the password. Using WiFi will get you email & non-SMS texting (e.g., WhatsApp, etc). You MAY even be able to do phone calls using the new FaceBook Phone feature ... (or some other App).
I know of others that just rent a phone over there for the time in the country .. something like a pre-paid plan for $30-50 or something as I recall. I guess the main issue with the RAZR is that it is not GSM compatible and you can't simply swap out the SIM card to make it work. (unless someting has changed) Maybe do a search here for your question - there are probably several posts on the topic. Have a great trip.
