I would be astonished if you could find CDMA service in the UK, France,
or Germany.  All of their carriers are exclusively GSM.

One of the reasons cell service works better there is that most
carriers have roaming agreements so they fill in each other's coverage
holes.  It's quite easy to see the network name change on your phone
as you move around.
