If you need to do a lot of voice communication this sounds like the ideal solution. Unfortunately I&rsquo;ve also heard that their Blackberry service has a lot of trouble connecting&ndash;even in Mexico City. This might have been because of phone configuration issues, so it might work out well for others. You can even consider Sprint/ Nextel. I&rsquo;m not sure what type of rate they have available, but it might be worth checking out.<span>&nbsp; </span>In particular the Nextel service has direct connect which in some cases could be a very good deal&ndash;depending on what you need. But if you strictly want to stick to Verizon then it can prove to be good choice depending upon your needs. &nbsp;</span></p>
