That is what the say and believe. No need to wake them up. You need a bigger hammer to wake up a reverse polE.
Not completely true sir. Out of the four major US carriers, two are CDMA and two are GSM. Most of the "minor" carriers are also GSM. The iPhone, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS were not CDMA phones. They were exclusive to AT&T and only used GSM and HSDPA standards. Apple began to make a separate CDMA iPhone for the two CDMA carriers starting with the iPhone 4. Apple implemented CDMA and GSM capabilities in both the iPhone 4S and 5 to save money and time so they wouldn't have to manufacture separate iPhones for each carrier. GSM has been in the US before CDMA.
Source: I had the iPhone, iPhone 3G, and iPhone 3GS with AT&T.
