I am going to China with my Samsung Galaxy 4 on the VErizon network. I would like to be able to use my phone but do not want to incur huge data charges, how do I do that?

You can use your phone in China if your carrier does not lock your handset. Even if your phone is locked, you can call your carrier and ask for unlocking it. There are three carriers in China, China Mobile, China Unicom, and China Telecom, using TD-SCDMA, WCDMA, and CDMA2000 networks, respectively. You can buy a SIM card in China from one of the carrier according to your phone's network mode.
Note: The international roaming charge can be very high; it is strongly advised to use a local SIM card.
