Has anyone here rented a cellphone or bought a disposal cell phone for use abroad? If so, what company did you use and would you recommend them?

I use Verizon Wireless, and I have read some crazy things about roaming charges with Verizon if you take your phone abroad, so I am wary about doing that.

From everyone I've talked to, AT&T is much better to have if you go abroad.

I have heard that too, but I have a contract with Verizon and I like them as a cell carrier and hated AT&T so I won't be switching anytime before my planned trip in October. Which is why I am looking into options for renting or a disposable phone.
