[Q] Verizon GN3 cdma or gsm?

kat3k · Oct 4, 2013

For some reason, I thought the salesman said both Verizon & ATT GN3's were gsm. Is that true or is VZ cdma? I thought I read somewhere they were switching over at some time. I was thinking gsm was preferable, but is it?

Thanks in advance.

The N3 is world phone so yes its gsm too

Sim unlocked ? I don't know the note 2 was unlocked but you can't add APN settings

Thanks very much. So I could use it at some future time on Straight Talk network? What about ATT after contract met? But would an ATT phone transfer to VZ if it's a world phone?

The ATT phones don't have the CDMA hardware to work on Verizon.

All verizon phones have CDMA radios in them. The 3G service from verizon is CDMA. International phones utilize a GSM 3G radio as well, as Europe uses GSM exclusively. The 4G radio, however, is GSM. Therefore, all 4G verizon phones are also GSM. Until 3G gets phased out, All Verizon 4G phones will have both GSM and CDMA radios.
