That is not totally true.
I recently saw a chart that showed the standard for all countries in
the world that support Cell phones.
CDMA is used outside the US, but it is not as popular as GSM. CDMA is
also used by Sprint.
When I was in Canada I could use my Verizon phone in a number of
places. It was only when I got into the Northern area of Ontario
(Which is semi remote) that I had problems with reception.
If I travel there again (which is likely as my in-laws live there.) I
will buy a prepay ATT or T-mobile phone so I can have reception.
By the way prepay is a pretty big player up in Canada over and
against contract.

I saw the Verizon TV ad again today, comparing networks. Then I
remembered how I can roam with T-Mobile on ATT's network and other
GSM networks across the country and around the world. There isn't any
network that Verizon customers can use for roaming except, well,
Verizon. The roaming on other networks expands ATT's coverage to
pretty much the same as Verizon's in the US and more in the rest of the world.
