Best Answer

Code Division Multiple Access or CDMA cell phones utilize a technology that permits the use of several frequencies at the same moment to send and receive data and voice transmissions. CDMA is newer radio technology that is designed to compete with the older Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) network. As a result, CDMA phones cannot use GSM cell towers. Another difference is that GSM phones use SIM cards while CDMA phones do not.
