Can you use a GSM phone in a CDMA area?

Question

I have a GSM phone but I am not sure if I can use it in the Susquahanna, PA area since that area uses the CDMA technology. Has anyone tried? My last phone, digital TDMA, did not work.

Answer 1

GSM and CDMA are different radio and network protocols.

That GSM phone may work if there's GSM coverage. Fire up that phone and see if it acquires a carrier. I'd be surprised if it didn't.

However, there's no way that GSM phone will work on a CDMA network.
