But as with everything, if you happen to travel on business a lot, GSM does encompass much of Europe and parts of Asia while CDMA takes on the rest.

Easiest solution outside of carrying two phones? Carry one that can support both technologies. The beauty of the Coolpad phones is that they’re dual-sim phones and they can switch from network to network. From a phone technology perspective, it’s definitely a worthwhile look just for sake of convenience and price. Believe us when we say that two phone plans really beats out those nasty international roaming charges.
