GSM vs CDMA
In cellular service there are two main competing network technologies: Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) and Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA). Cellular carriers including Sprint PCS, Cingular Wireless, Verizon and T-Mobile use one or the other. Understanding the difference between GSM and CDMA will allow you to choose a carrier that uses the preferable network technology for your needs.
The GSM Association is an international organization founded in 1987, dedicated to providing, developing, and overseeing the worldwide wireless standard of GSM. CDMA, a proprietary standard designed by Qualcomm in the United States, has been the dominant network standard for North America and parts of Asia. However, GSM networks continue to make inroads in the United States, as CDMA networks make progress in other parts of the world. There are camps on both sides that firmly believe either GSM or CDMA architecture is superior to the other.

GSM and CDMA more competing network technologies is good . and one more technologies is there to give better performance and providing many network solution . i.e TDMA (Time division multiple access) . It Cover more distance than GSM and CDMA .

GSM and CDMA are equally good.
We are using a CDMA technique called WLL (Wireless Local Loop) that allows networks that cover only a single city. Reliance cheated and set up stations to connect all these networks together to connect the whole of India.
