Why CDMA sim not working in gsm?

CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) and GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) are two different mobile communication technologies that use incompatible network protocols. A CDMA SIM card is designed specifically for CDMA networks and cannot be used on GSM networks, which rely on a different signaling and communication method. Therefore, if you try to use a CDMA SIM in a GSM device, it will not work because the device cannot recognize or process the CDMA signal.
