What's the definitive word on CDMA vs. GSM phones? I used to have a Sprint HTC EVO that I had flashed to PagePlus and it worked pretty well except fo MMS. Now I have a Verizon S4 and understand that it's a CDMA phone out of the box, but doesn't it have GSM and Global options as well? There's so much conflicting advise out there that I'm frustrated. Verizon want's around a $100 a month for the basic data plan and since I only use 50MB of data a month that's not happening. The local shop here wants $50 to flash it to PP. Is that something I can do myself? I know on PP I can only get 3G coverage at best, but will it cause data issues?

TIA
