I am leaning towards TMobile, seeing if I am missing anything with Verizon tho

T-Mobile man.. they have the "OG" GSM network internationally

Neither, use any unlocked quad band phone and shove in a local prepaid sim. International roaming will rape you and you will still have to get a local sim in many countries for it to work.

Verizon.

Verizon sells 3 phones that can use GSM overseas and CDMA in the US. International roaming using a CDMA phone is pretty spotty.

You'd have a wider variety of phones using a GSM carrier, since probably 25-50% of their phones would be tri-band or quad-band, which is what you'd need if you're going to Europe or Asia. That would be T-mobile or Cingular. Cingular coverage in the US itself is generally better, but it depends on where you'd be using it most of the time. I know around here T-mobile is pretty shitty. I glanced at their international rates, they were pretty comparable.

This is probably the cheapest method while overseas if you're not especially partial to having the same phone number while you're traveling.

The newer SIM cards the carriers provide should work most anywhere they have a roaming agreement, but a lot of Western Europe would be $0.99 per minute and it goes up from there.
