Re: That's great but

said by elwoodblues:

Interesting you say that.. I was at the Grand Canyon last year, and on the top my GSM phone(who ever I was roaming with at the time) didn't work.

However I saw a good number of people chatting away, so I can only assume they were using Verizon and/or a CDMA provider.

It really is 6 of one and half a dozen of the other. I guess the advantage of GSM is that it's used in Europe and Asia. My phone is unlocked so I can swap sim cards very quickly.

My understanding is that CDMA phones cannot be "unlocked"
Was your phone 850 mhz and 1900 mhz GSM?
There are some GSM phones that do not work with both frequencies.
The map for CDMA for the grand canyon does not show any better coverage than GSM.

Anyways CDMA does not have better coverage than GSM. Now if you have a CDMA and AMPS phone then you would get better coverage than GSM.
