I found this text .... It may help you

It doesn't matter which current Nokia CDMA phone you have, or whether it has a R-UIM slot at the back or not, your Nokia CDMA mobile phone CANNOT be converted for use with a GSM network. CDMA IS-95 (or CDMA2000) and GSM are COMPLETELY different mobile telephony systems, and they're totally incompatible.

There's ABSOLUTELY NO WAY a CDMA phone can be converted for GSM use, or vice-versa. If a friend of friend of a cousin says they've managed it, then they're most certainly lying (or maybe not. Maybe they're just insane!).

What does exist is the possibility of activating a CDMA phone through either OTA (over-the-air) authentication, or using a UIM (User Identity Module) card. This UIM is similar in appearance to a GSM SIM card, but only in appearance because they're also incompatible.

Now, the activation method is a choice that your CDMA provider makes at the time of deploying its network, it's not a user choice. If your CDMA provider uses OTA activation, then you're stuck with it and only roaming visitors will be able to use their UIM-activated phones. And vice-versa.

This applies to ALL Nokia CDMA phones that have or may have UIM slots installed on them: 2280, 3586/86i/88/89, 3105, 6225, 6585.

If your network does not activate the use of the R-UIM card, there's nthing you can do.
