GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) is a widely used digital mobile telephony standard that allows users to make calls across different networks and countries.

GSM provides voice and data services, including SMS text messages and internet access, to mobile devices

Some advantages of GSM include high quality voice calls, global roaming capabilities, and compatibility with various mobile devices.

GSM utilizes a combination of time-division multiple access (TDMA) and frequency-division multiple access (FDMA) techniques to allocate resources and enable multiple users to share the same frequency spectrum.

Yes, GSM phones are compatible with various international networks, allowing you to use your phone while traveling abroad. However, you may need to check if your phone supports the required frequency bands for specific countries.

GSM refers to the older second-generation (2G) mobile network technology, while 3G, 4G, and LTE represent newer generations that offer faster data speeds and improved services such as video calling and mobile internet.

GSM has some security vulnerabilities, such as the possibility of interception or cloning of calls. However, network operators implement encryption and other security measures to mitigate these risks.
