What devices are CDMA-only?
What's the best replacement strategy for a CDMA-only customer?
Older flip phones, some pre-2018 smartphones, and certain budget devices. Most modern smartphones (2019+) support both CDMA and GSM, so migration usually only requires updating SIM or switching networks.
Match price point first. Many CDMA migrants are seniors or budget-conscious and don't want to pay much more for a replacement. Affordable Android or carrier-supplied replacement devices work well for this segment.
