You are going to want one! Here is some helpful information about several different phone plans. Please feel free to comment at the bottom with other phone plans not listed here.

 For Verizon customers who do not have a global ready phone

Verizon has a global rental plan. I want to say it is like $25 or maybe $30 to get a phone it comes with easy instructions on how to use the phone. We have also done this and it also worked very well. The phones that they send you are nice and are capable of having internet/email if you are in need of this.http://businessportals.verizonwireless.com/international/Global_Travel/index.html

I purchased a phone from http://www.ekit.com/ekit/home I bought the cheap phone that they have and it came with minutes and now every trip that I make I just go onto my account and add minutes… It has really worked well and I only use it in emergency situations. The only thing I always forget is to activate the phone in haiti you have to enter your pin # I finally got smart and I write it on my hand with a sharpie when we leave miami!! lol... don't want to be stuck in the PAP airport with out a phone!
