From my experiences with VZW's Samsung world phone:
1.) There is no added cost while using the phone in the US. Obviously when overseas that is when the additional charges associated with international use begin.
2.) When I traveled with VZW's CDMA/GSM Samsung World phone the switch was not automatic. Once you landed at your destination you had to make the switch through a menu setting. More then half the time this switch failed, and i had to go thru the painful route of using International Cutomer service- which by the way didn't always get my phone working properly. On many occasions I was on the plane heading home or to my next stop before the issue was resolved.
Now with that said, this was roughly 3 years ago, when VZW was first rolling out the new dual capable (CDMA/GSM) phone. So hopefully they have improved the system because i am quite excited about the 8800.
Hope that helps,,,at least a little.
