I'm not sure about the GPS, but I know the text messaging (SMS) and phone as modem DO work overseas.

I see charges on our company Sprint account all the time for international text messaging. Also, if you have the $69.99 Worldwide BB data plan, you have to add on the $15 PAM for that to work.

Perhaps you should switch to AT&T. They are advertising Global GPS now with ATT Navigator (for $19.99/mo).

Good luck in your quest. And I hope you make it thru the door in Reston.
