There is two diffrent types of cell phones in use today the GSM which uses sim cards and CDMA which does not use sim cards. Cingular and Tmobile are GSM whereas Sprint and Verizon are CDMA I hope this explained your question.

What Taz said. Although, some CDMA phone carriers that are in other parts of the world do use some sort of card, but it's called a RUIM.
