Re: That's great but said by DarnellP:said by r81984:My gsm phone gets signals where cdma does not. gsm has much more coverage than cdma in the us and goes through walls a lot better. GSM having more coverage in the US than CDMA? Nope, sorry you are wrong there. As for GSM penetrating walls better, that is debatable, but I find the claim dubious at best. IMO any difference in wall penetration between the technologies would be negligible. I am right I have GSM and my girlfriend has CDMA. She looses signal in her house. I get perfect signal. She loses signal cross country in remote areas, I do not. She has gone through 3 phones and it does not make a difference.
Anywhere she has a signal I do, but the CDMA phone does not get a signal everywhere GSM does.
I am sorry, but between seattle, chicago, new york, florida, texas, louisiana GSM has better coverage than CDMA.

For every example you can give where CDMA got signal indoors and GSM didn't I can give you one where my CDMA phone did better than a GSM phone.

maybe ur gf is using those small cdma companies? i.e. metropcs and others.
Myself having gone through every single carrier and working in cellphone business will stay in CDMA and Verizon is by far the best. Also that depends how much money each company invest money in their towers and Verizon is by far the one who spend the most. |

I guess Verizon wasted their money because they did not optimize their towers to get better coverage than GSM.

Well you will believe what you wish to believe and that's fine, but as a whole CDMA has more coverage in the US than GSM. VZW has more coverage than any single GSM carrier including at&t. |

The only weak spot I run into is on some parts of the N. Shore of LI. |

Well we should all take your view after a few days here instead of all the people in NYC who say different. |
