Cell Phone Technology Standards: What is GSM vs. CDMA vs. TDMA?
Don’t be afraid of techno babble. It doesn’t have to bite.
While selecting the right cell phone service plan at your carrier of choice is a supremely important decision that impacts your bottom line, so is choosing the right service carrier in the first place.
Do you use service in major U.S. cities? Do you travel internationally and need affordable (or free) roaming? Do you use service in rural U.S. areas?
These questions are important for you to answer before selecting a cell phone service carrier or changing to one that better suits your needs.
In making that choice to fit your unique situation, you’ll need to understand what’s underneath the major cell phone service carriers and how their underlying technology standards differ.
