Not just AT&T. Any GSM carrier.

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.

Is your intention to have a UK #, or another US one?

ita, I really have no idea. I want to be able to use it in the UK to make calls as needed since we're going to be moving around a lot. If necessary I can just get a calling card to call the US when were there if there is not a reasonably priced phone option that can do both.

If you want to be able to make local calls in the UK, I'd just get a burner phone when you get there. It's always going to be cheaper than tying yourself down to a US carrier.
