I am going to Australia for a month and was wondering how would I be able to use my cell phone there?

Madeline M asked:


I want to have a cell phone on me at all times for safety. Just to make calls to my family there. I have Verizon Wireless. Can I bring the cell phone I have now down under and be able to buy a month plan or something? Am I better off just buying a Go Phone in Australia? Thanks for your help.
