Best Answer

You cannot use a WCDMA phone on a CDMA network. Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA), despite its name, is different from and not part of Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) networks. WCDMA is one type of 3G technology and is an extension of Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) networks.
