GSM stands for Global System for Mobile Communications. This type of telephone service enables anybody to access cellphone networks anywhere in the world. If you are travelling, all you need is to buy a chip called SIM card that works in the country that you're going, put it inside the card slot in your cellphone and you will be able to use your cellphone in that country.
