I used the $10 per day version in August (in the UK) and didn't have that problem

Verizon phones, unlike T-Mobile and AT&T (but like Sprint) use CDMA technology in the US to communicate with cell towers. Europe uses GSM, which T-Mobile and AT&T use in the US, too. So a Verizon or Sprint phone in Europe must first know it needs to roam on GSM to pick up anything.
