Verizon taking 4 Android phones global this summer
Verizon will enable four Android phones in its line to work overseas. Only a simple OTA update for the phones listed is necessary, along with a global data plan.
If you own a Verizon Android phone and wish you could use it while traveling abroad an announcement just made by the carrier might be important. Verizon intends to roll out a software update for the following four phones that enable the ability to use the phone abroad:
- HTC Rezound
- DROID RAZR by Motorola
- DROID RAZR MAXX by Motorola
- DROID 4 by Motorola
No date for the updates have been given other than "this summer" so owners shouldn't have too long to wait. Note that once the phones have been updated, customers will need a Verizon global plan to use it overseas.
