Your wireless phone is set to CDMA mode by default. If you install a SIM card, the phone automatically switches to Global mode, which enables you to use your phone globally on GSM networks while outside of the United States.
Note SIM cards must be purchased from a carrier in the country you wish to use the phone and are not sold or supported by U.S. Cellular.
