OK here I am a retired IT person but I am going to ask this anyway? So put to me in layman's terms what's the difference between the technology Verizon (CDMA) I believe and say T Mobile and ATT is it called (GSM) ? Is this in the phone or a protocol or something completely different? If this is elementary sorry I have been tout fishing in the woods of Montana rather than follow technology since I retired. I must admit sometime I do miss it so? Never boring always changing you young folks are lucky you have amazing things coming in your lifetime. Sorry if this sounds sentimental..... LOL
 
I suppose we in the UK should be grateful the European Union made GSM the EU standard. A case of mobile technology wise we have it much better than the US. A superb explanation found by Mikestony.

Down the road with LTE only phones it should be a little better in the US, although the networks use different types of LTE.
