So, I've never sent an international text, nor have really used my SIM card. I'm just kind of wondering how this would work out. The texting plan I have is "Unlimited Mobile to Mobile Messaging PLUS 5000 additional messages" from Verizon.

I realize it wouldn't be a Verizon number, so would it count as the "PLUS 5000 additional messages"? I apologize if this is a stupid question, I just want to make sure.

Also, if the person overseas had a BlackBerry, if I was do use BBM, would I be charged anything?

Thanks in advance!

The "5000 additional messages" apply to messages that you send to US phone numbers while you are in your coverage area. It does not apply to to international phone numbers. And it does not apply when you are in another country.

If you send a BBM message to someone in another country, it will not cost you anything additional. It will be part of your data. Now depending upon what data package the other person has for their BlackBerry, it might cost them extra to send and receive BBM messages.
