The standard mobile-phone network in Europe, and much of the world, is called GSM. Some American mobile-phone companies — most notably T-Mobile and AT&T — use the same GSM technology as in Europe. Others (including Sprint and Verizon) use a different system called CDMA that is incompatible with European networks.
