So-called "world phones" are marketed by CDMA companies (such as Verizon) so their customers can use their native CDMA service in the USA and GSM service internationally. Several quad band GSM / dual band CDMA phones are currently being sold by Verizon, for example, from a variety of manufacturers including Samsung, RIM, HTC, and PCD. None of this changes the fact that Verizon is a CDMA service and the SIM card is only for GSM service.
