Planning a trip to Roatan, can anyone tell me if they have cell phone coverage I'm on the Verizon network?

Verizon probably does not work there because it is a cdma phone and that is only used in the US. You will need a GSM phone such as offered by AT&T or T-Mobile. You will also need an international plan and the calls will still be very expensive. Another option is to get a local prepaid phone while there for emergency use; it will need a local sim card so you may want to wait until you arrive to get one.
