When we talk about mobile phone network in India, it is mostly GSM. But there are also few players in India which uses CDMA. CDMA, or Code Division Multiple Access is mostly popular in US although in India few operators like Reliance and MTS uses this network. While the user base of CDMA in India is pretty low at 55 million compared to GSM, most of the CDMA networks provide their own handsets and the SIM cards are quite often locked.
