Calls on the China SIM were much cheaper than using Verizon roaming - I'm not even sure Verizon would work over there. Calls to the States were about $.10 per minute. Plus I had a local Shanghai number so people could call me without incurring international charges at their end.

I was impressed - a nice reliable system that everyone uses.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-gsm-18024228 Sun, 18 Mar 2007 19:56:01 EDT Re: gsm http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-gsm-18023302 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-gsm-18023302 Sun, 18 Mar 2007 16:56:09 EDT Re: gsm http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-gsm-18023272 said by n2jtx:

I tend to agree with this snip it and the article. i wish the states was on one standard though (maybe GSM). I like my cdma phone but a sim card would be nice and an unlocked phone would also be just as nice.
There is a such a card in the CDMA world.Hence the "but" in his statement.

It is called an R-UIM (see »www.wisegeek.com/what-is-a-ruim-card.htm) but no US carrier uses it and probably never will since it would require them giving up some of the control they currently have over their users. Plus at $25 to perform an ESN swap, they would also wind up losing a bit of revenue.

The #1 reason is have T-Mobile is because of the SIM card and the ability to swap it between various phones I have.
