GSM is a mobile phone technology that uses TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access). GSM stands for Global System for Mobile communications. The competing system is CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access). GSM and CDMA are not compatible systems. If a phone is designed for GSM, it will not be compatible with CDMA and vice-versa.What are GSM Bands 900/1800/1900 Mhz?
GSM technology can work on up to 4 frequencies: 850 Mhz, 900 Mhz, 1800 Mhz, and 1900 Mhz.Some GSM phones support all the bands or frequencies, or just a couple. A dual band phone supports only two, usually 900/1900 or 850/1900. A tri-band phone supports three bands, either 850/1800/1900 or 900/1800/1900. A quad-band phone supports all GSM bands. Quad-band phones are able to work with any and all GSM service providers.
On the other hand, GSM service providers support just a subset of all the GSM bands available. Before buying a GSM phone, make sure the phone supports at least one of the bands that your GSM service provider supports.
Do I need a contract to buy an Unlocked Phone?
No. A contract is required between you and the GSM service provider for you to get a working phone line. A contract is not required between you and PureMobile.No service plan included?
GSM service providers offer phones at discounted prices attached to their service plans. The catch is these phones are locked to their sim cards. You cannot use them with other GSM service providers. Our mobile phones are unlocked, they reflect the real market price of a mobile phone and they are not locked to a specific GSM service provider. That's why we do not attach any service plan to them.
