Internation phone service and phone options: currently with verizon
I'm moving overseas next month and searching for my best options for cellphone service. I'm leaving to Israel in mid-march and verizon's options for service are limited if any.
The only option presented has been this:

for the price of $349.
I'm researching into other phones that I could use with my verizon service (global only) and hopefully I will be able to stay with verizon.
Verizon does not have international calling plans, so my only options now are cellphones.
I thank everybody ahead of time for the help and any suggestions, cellphone advice or personal experience.

I would get a unlocked GSM phone and go prepaid overseas. Its is cheaper.
I have sprintPCS myself, and I have 2 unlocked GSM phones (bought on eBay) for international travel. I go to London often, so I have a both Virgin-UK and Orange UK prepaid sims that we just pop into our phones when we are there.

I would recommend getting a phone and service from a local carrier instead.
