Excellent presentation. concise and straight to the point. This is the reason I never went CDMA. I knew this day would come and these companies that promoted this also knew this archaic, obsolete system would end but still sold to unsuspecting customers. So for you folks with CDMA only phones, you will have to save up to buy new phones. I hope you get some credit for your useless phones.

I'm on Verizon's CDMA network and it's shocking how limited the choices are for cheaper phones ($150-$400 range). If anyone here is considering a mobile network, make sure to avoid Verizon and Sprint. Even if they offer better plans, they're not worth the headache in my opinion.

CDMA will always be superior. Also GSM there were a lot more carriers for CDMA than just Verizon and sprint, like in Canada and Mexico and more smaller US carriers. And you can’t use all GSM phones on AT&T or T-Mobile because they could have different bands, T-Mobile uses 1900mhz and international is 1800/900mhz.

@John Carvell ummm at over 18 moths before you switched Verizon already stopped activating CDMA devices, with the plans to fully discontinue the CDMA part of their network in December 2019(this has passed but they plan to do it by the end of the year), all Current devices since 2015 have supported GSM at least LTE, since they are moving to a fully LTE network, I am confused by you saying they want to lock people to their antiquated Network, when they are litterly Turing it into the same as at&t, at$t since last year shut down all their 1g and 2g networks and are in the process not doing the same with 3g, so it will just be LTE vs LTE in a year or 2, with no other networks on either Verizon or AT&T, at least TMobile is keeping 2g and 3g around a bit longer and that helps range and cell service

So I can buy a kyocera flip phone and use Consumer Cellular? Because they use Tmobile, Verizon and ATT so most likely I best use the Att sim card? Like I have a old LG flip phone originally ATT 2015 consumer cellular doesn't support 3G nor does at&t but they did activate it a couple years ago I pay the 4.99 for data so friends of mine that send me a video for Christmas would work! But it doesn't come threw it says subject: and then download! That's because it's 3G correct? My therapist has a kyocera flip phone through work and it's a 4G device but being a disabled Senior I'm sure I can't afford verizon service, besides I like Consumer Cellulars prices 30 and some cents but they don't sell kyocera I absolutely hate a smartphone, can't see the screen without getting a migraine! Plus in an emergency you can feel the keys verses a smartphone!

The CDMA comments are not completely accurate. CDMA tech was used first prior to GSM. Guess where cell phone usage started first.......? The USA. CDMA technology was in place for a while as the rest of the world caught up and used GSM, as well as the US GSM market. This is why the USA has two different technologies. The CDMA technology works very well and can actually reach further in the RF spectrum allowing users to travel further out than GSM.

If the phone is a Verizon branded phone then yes. Verizon now sells all their smartphones factory unlocked. I use an unlocked Verizon note 9 on AT&T. Everything works. Wifi calling, volte, and video calling. Once you put the SIM card in the network updates to that carrier. Verizon unlocked phones today have GSM and CDMA capabilities. An AT&T or TMobile phone will connect on the Verizon network however because it lacks all CDMA capabilities it will struggle. Definitely buy a Verizon phone if you want a fully unlocked phone in the states to use with any carrier.

@@vg007v7 I'm not so sure how far back Verizon phones pick up CDMA and GSM I know at least the last couple years that Samsung Verizon phones are just like the Samsung phones you buy on Samsung.com. Basically a Samsung Verizon phone that's pretty recent is unlocked for any carrier in the states as well as international. eBay has a lot of great deals. Just make sure the phone you buy has a clean iemi and esn. Don't buy a TMobile or AT&T phone if you want to use it on any carrier. It won't have all the carrier services and functions available.

[3] For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; [4] And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV Bible [8] For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: [9] Not of works, lest any man should boast. Romans 10:9-13 KJV Bible [9] That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. [10] For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. [11] For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. [12] For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. [13] For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. John 3:16 KJV Bible For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 14:6 KJV Bible Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
