Question: 1 / 150

Which of the following is TRUE about GSM and CDMA phones?

GSM phones never use SIM cards

CDMA phones require SIM cards for all usage

GSM phones are more common globally than CDMA phones

The statement about GSM phones being more common globally than CDMA phones is true. GSM, which stands for Global System for Mobile Communications, is a standard that is widely adopted around the world, especially in Europe, Asia, and Africa. This widespread use is largely because GSM allows users to switch networks more easily and has fostered a more competitive environment among providers. On the other hand, CDMA, which stands for Code Division Multiple Access, is primarily used in the United States and a few other regions. While CDMA technology has been prevalent among certain carriers, globally, GSM networks outnumber CDMA networks significantly. This results in GSM phones being more frequently found in various countries, enhancing their global compatibility and user accessibility. Understanding the context of mobile technologies helps clarify the prevalence and application of these standards, thus highlighting the truth of the statement regarding GSM phones.
