According to the specs in the wiki (https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/PinePhone#Specifications):

Communication: G25-G

WCDMA: B1, B2, B4, B5, B6, B8, B19

WCDMA (Wide CDMA) is supported on the above bands, but, in my study, I've concluded that WCDMA is actually a GSM "thing" and it's not actually used by the "CDMA providers." WCDMA enabled the GSM providers to achieve G3 performance some years ago. Inland, a CDMA provider, uses CDMA2000, which is being phased out more rapidly than thought only a year or two ago and, as you said, will never be supported in a PinePhone.

From https://www.techopedia.com/definition/24...cess-wcdma

Although WCDMA is designed to operate on evolved GSM core networks, it uses code division multiple access (CDMA) for its air interface.

I'm just trying the understand the lay of the land here so I might be able to make useful contributions to the PinePhone wiki pages.
