Using Verizon in Europe
Content: I have never used an iPhone overseas. My Android phone (a Verizon CDMA phone) will work on GSM but requires some crazy settings to make it work. If you want to use your Verizon phone in Europe, you first need to figure out how to set it to roam on GSM. This varies by the exact model of your phone. Looks like for an iPhone 6, you need to turn data and voice roaming on: https://www.verizonwireless.com/supp...international/

Once roaming is on, you should be able to see if you are registered on the local roaming network. When I was in Amsterdam for example, my phone would connect to one of the Dutch mobile networks it was allowed to roam on. If it is not registered on a local mobile network in Europe, you won't be able to text or make voice calls. If you are registered, then it's a Verizon issue. FYI, your phone does not need to be unlocked to use it in Europe if you are using your carrier's international roaming plan.
