I could add GlobalEmail for $69.98 for 1/4 of the month... and it would be $17.50.
So for my data, it would be $39.99 for the month?
Would I experience any data charges for email/web other than the upgraded price for GlobalEmail?
Would this change anything with my phone plan? Calls from the Bahamas on VZW are $1.99. Would the GlobalEmail plan lower the phone call costs?
Thanks

I _THINK_ your math is probably correct but I'm not verizon, so you should check. Actually, someone suggested that calling Verizon anytime you are leaving the country is a good idea to make sure that the sim card is "turned on!" I was not aware of that.
On the Global plan (maybe there is just data for 65 and for data/phone for 70??), my phone calls were 99cents per minute. I believe they are more expensive in Europe than that.
The previous responder mentioned, just use the normal phone charges and pay-as-you-go. If you can figure out your general data charges, that might work. I have not sat down with my bill to figure out my Europe data and what it might have been if I had not opted for Global. I'm not sure that I every was clear where the decimal went on the verizon data charges outside of the US!!! (G)
