What is CDMA, and if I have a CDMA phone will it work on any CDMA service?
CDMA stands for Code Division Multiple Access. It’s another method of digitizing and compressing wireless phone calls to allow several calls to share the network at the same time. As for taking your phone to a new carrier, maybe. Some CDMA carriers will let you take a phone from a different CDMA carrier, particularly if they sell a similar phone themselves. These phones are sometimes locked. It always pays to check with the carrier before you sign up.
