About phones:
You can use a tri-mode CDMA USA phone (e.g., my Verizon v60i), though:
a) I needed to update the firmware at the local store.
beware:
1. they will tell you this is fruitless, and that
everywhere overseas is GSM (it isn't)
2. you may need to recode the ID number (PRL?)
(in verizon-speak, dial *228 and recode roaming)
3. the account has to be setup for international roaming
In Korea, to dial the US, I was told you dial:
00700 (international number)
e.g.,
00700 310 555 1212
(I'm sending this long-ish summary since Verizon left it off their
international traveler web pages, and it took a few days to decode ;-)
