You may still need to get Verizon to register any different SIM before it will work. They need to associate SIM number w/ the IMEI or MEID number of your phone. Otherwise, it can look like thief trying to use stolen phone. I think the days when you can just pop another SIM and go may be over.
They have to do this even when changing one VZW SIM for another VZW SIM, and they have to activate international coverage if you plan to use your phone w/ your SIM in another country. I know this from experience - both in US and in using VZW phone w/ my SIM in UK. I have not tried to use local SIMs when traveling outside the US...
Those who know more than I do -- please correct / complete what I missed!
