So many choices. Do I use my home cell service (Verizon) and get an International plan? Do I get a SIM card (Vodaphone?) that I can use in all the countries we will be in? (Iceland, Scotland, S England, Italy, France, Switzerland?) Or...rent one of the portable wifi boxes (Teppy) or another? Trying to figure out a good way to have some internet and phone service. Check emails and make an occasional call. Have internet search options. Internet mostly for maps (though I am a serious paper map person..but like the added GPS on the phone to give you real time location.) It seems like the SIM cards are by far the best deal. Just wondering how dependable they are in the countries we'll be in? Any opinions on staying somewhat connected??

This may give you an idea for coverage, I went with getting a three sim card due to where I visit. you buy the prepaid version slip it in, put a add on on it and your good to go. I put a 20 spot on mine for my trip, and it worked in Ireland.
The EU last year removed the roaming coasts so if you but a data plan with your SIM card here in the UK it will be possible to use it in the other European countries
Not sure yet what to use.
