A normal MSC will connect BSC to the PLMN/PSTN Network directly. Meaning to say it will need to do the call connections and management from BSC all the way to PLMN/PSTN network. Once the network expands, the MSC will face congestion and therefore a solution needed.

GMSC - Gateway MSC, as the name implies, will in this case serve as an interconnection between MSC and PLMN/PSTN Network. Thus this free up the resources of the MSC itself need to perform all the originally tasks.

There are two types of cell phone networks, GSM and CDMA. As long as the network you are trying to move your unlocked phone to is compatible then yes it will work. In most cases a GSM phone will not work on a CDMA network and vise versa, however, some careers (such as Verizon) have support signals for GSM phones.
