This cannot be done unless you change the hardware itself. CDMA and GSM are two different technologies used by the carriers and it's a difference in the hardware that makes it not possible for you to convert a CDMA phone on GSM, or vice versa.

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. There is no support for CDMA phones on a GSM network at this time. So for overall versatility, GSM phones are better.
Why do CDMA phones doesn't require sim cards?
The network operator has all the serial numbers of their phones in their data base. The serial number is also written on the phone themselves under the battery. For whatever reason, CDMA carriers are too concerned about what phone you're using unlike GSM carriers that don't monitor your every move. In GSM the carrier is only concerned about the SIM card and not the phone. In CDMA the operator doesn't have a SIM to track, so they worry about the phones themselves. CDMA is a very restrictive, oppressive technology. They lock down their phones to the carriers so you can't take your phone to a different carrier, unlike GSM. GSM is the way to go if you like freedom.
