CDMA > GSM

[footballdude36]

I have Cingular which is a GSM network. I was wondering if you can use unlocked CDMA phones with GSM? I really want to get the A970 or A940 and they are both either CDMA or EV-DO, but i want to keep my GSM. Any solutions?

If they can work in GSM frequences that Cingular have, and are really unlocked I guess they will work.

But you won't be able to take advantage of the high-speed data transfer that EV-DO allows in CDMA networks ... ;)

A CDMA phone will not work on the GSM network. REPEAT, will not work on the GSM network. If you want that phone you need to find out if they manufacture a GSM compatible model.

Kind Regards,

There are phones that feature both GSM and CDMA frequences and can work on both of the network types ... in one device

For instance which phones Crossblade? I may want to pick one up because I remember hearing talk of this technological fusion a while ago now.
