Ottawa Canada Hi Leslie:
GSM is Global Standard for Mobile Telephones and is the type of transmission used pretty much all over the world except for Canada, the USA and some Caribbean islands. CDMA is Code Division Multiple Access and is the transmission technique used by Sprint, Verizon and some other U.S. cellular companies. TDMA is Time Division Multiple Access and was the system formerly used by Bell Mobility and Rogers/Cantel in Canada and AT&T in the Us. It had an interesting robotic sound for your voice that was fixed by the cellular companies switching to CDMA. GSM is used by some U.S. firms, AT&T, Singular and T-Mobile. U.S. GSM transmissions are on different frequencies than are used in the rest of the world, and some GSM telephones are "World Band" in that they can transmit on any of the three bands used in various parts of the world. A GSM telephone will not work on a CDMA cellular network and vice versa. Hope this explains it a bit better. Brian -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
