Yes, Consumer Cellular primarily operates on GSM network technology, specifically utilizing AT&T's and T-Mobile's networks for its services. This allows them to offer reliable coverage across the United States. Additionally, they also support LTE for data services, ensuring customers have access to high-speed internet.
No they do not... : ( US Cellular is a CDMA network and all iphones are GSM network, so iphone is not compatible with US Cellular. They also do not allow unlocked phones on their network either, so you have to use one of their phones. I hope this was helpful. : )
US Cellular is a CDMA network meaning that it uses Code Division Multiple Access as its primary technology. This type of network is different from other networks in its use of a code to differentiate between different conversations instead of using a different frequency for each conversation. US Cellular is not a GSM network which stands for Global System for Mobiles and instead uses CDMA technology. CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access): US Cellular uses this technology as its primary technology. It uses a code to differentiate between different conversations instead of a different frequency for each conversation. GSM (Global System for Mobiles): US Cellular is not a GSM network and instead uses CDMA technology.
Yes, they operate a GSM 850MHz Network, and all GSM phones use Sim Card.
Apple makes the iPhone, and in the US it is only available on the AT&T network, unless you purchase an unlocked model, in which case you could also use it on T-Mobile's network as they are the only other GSM carrier in the US.
They have there own GSM towers and spectrum.
Dropped and Missed CallsAccording to Cellular News, call quality problems, including dropped calls and missed calls are common problems with GSM technology. These problems result directly from the technology in use. GSM technology cannot accommodate as many callers on a single cell tower as the more modern CDMA technology. This means that callers in areas where there are not a preponderance of cell towers may find that the call problems on GSM will be more common.Security IssuesZDNet UK reports that GSM has a serious security flaw, demonstrated by a hacker who was able to intercept phone calls from a number of GSM-based cellular phones. The problem is based directly on the technology according to this hacker and his solution was to "turn off" the GSM technology (only the older 2G technology though) that is commonly used by people all over the world. The problem is largely mitigated however by the use of the more modern 3G technology that is commonly used (as of November, 2010) on many GSM phones.EfficiencyAnother problem with GSM is a network problem rather than a consumer problem, though it is a consumer problem for those who don't want to see a proliferation of cellular towers. As previously noted, GSM technology can handle fewer callers on a single cellular tower. Therefore, networks who work with GSM must find ever more areas to built GSM cellular towers, causing them to have problems with costs and locations. By the same token, some consumers who prefer not to see a proliferation of cellular towers consider this a problem because the cellular towers must be placed in more and more urban areas, potentially spreading more radiation and causing what some consider a blight on the landscape.
The telephone company GSM provide a range of phone network services. The use of a SIM card in GSM allows users to maintain a high-level of security, particularly of personal data.
US Cellular uses CDMA technology, not GSM, so, their phones do not use SIM cards.
yes
cellular network is like wifi but it comes out of your credit so you can us internet when you use it and are not connected to wifi
CDMA is short for Code Division Multiple Access and GSM is short for Global System for Mobile. These are the two main network technologies. All the different cellular carriers use either one or the other. Some may use both but it's rare so when choosing a carrier make sure you have the best network for your cellphone so you get the best reception.
Yes , providing the go-phone is unlocked from all networks. If it's locked to a specific network, you'll need to have it unlocked before the consumer SIM card will work in it.
