What is "GSM"?
GSM is a TDMA based wireless network
technology developed in Europe that is used throughout most of the world. GSM
phones make use of a SIM card to identify the user's account. The use of the SIM
card allows GSM network users to quickly move their phone number from one GSM
phone to another by simply moving the SIM card. Currently GSM networks operate
on the 850MHz, 900MHz, 1800MHz, and 1900MHz frequency bands. Devices that
support all four bands are called quad-band, with those that support 3 or 2
bands called tri-band and dual-band, respectively. In the United States,
Cingular operates on the 850 and 1900MHz bands, while T-Mobile operates only on
the 1900MHz band.
