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.

Disadvantages of the GSM technologies?
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.

How do you use a US Cellular SIM card in another phone?
US Cellular uses CDMA technology, not GSM, so, their phones do not use SIM cards.
What's the difference between CDMA and GSM cell phones?
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.
Do Consumer cellular phone use sim cards?
yes
Does Sprint support GSM phones?
Sprint is not a GSM service provider, they use a CDMA network. Also Sprint is now Sprint/Nextel and although Nextel devices do use SIM cards they are not GSM devices either. Nextel uses an iDEN network and their SIM cards can only be used for International Roaming, they cannot be used on GSM networks in the United States. Unlocked Nextel devices cannot be used on a GSM network and unlocked GSM devices cannot be used on the Nextel network as the two are not even remotely compatible.
