Im not sure, but the same way that people flash to carriers like Boost, I guess you could do the same with one of your local carriers. But you would have to do some research to get all the necessary pieces like a donor phone, mms gateway URL and all that, I wouldn't know how to obtain that info unless you have an inside person but thats just my 2 cents
The first thing is to find out if a cdma network is available where you are. The Shift uses cdma but the majority of the world uses gsm...

That's what I was about to say lol, yeah it is doubtful because almost everybody uses GSM. And there was never an international Shift made as far as I know.
HERE is some info on the Cell Phone situation in the Philippines.
Oh yeah, forgot about that.HTC merge

Thank you all for such replies and info's. I guest it can't be use here as a regular phone since there is no available CDMA service here. Well, i'll just use this as an experimental phone as I learn Android. Once again thank you folks.
Here is a cool app that will let you use your shift to make calls via wifi. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.snrblabs.grooveip I hope this helps.
I've noticed in some of the ROMs I've installed that there are settings making it LOOK like you can change between CDMA and GSM. I never believed it was actually possible, but interesting that there are settings like that included sometimes.
Yeah, thats because CM uses the same base for all their roms, then makes it specific for each device
If you try to switch, it doesnt actually work though, like you said

Those ROMs are cross platform, such as cm7.. they were released on multiple devices on multiple carriers so adding that option makes it easier for use with different carriers. The only way you can get both is with an international cdma device (there aren't many)
