[OT] Does anyone have a spare CDMA Cellphone?

[dave at math.mit.edu (David Backeberg)]

This won't help you now, but my understanding of GSM is that if your phone 
craps out and your id chip thingie isn't hurt you can buy the cheapest 
crap GSM phone you can find, swap in your old id chip thingie, unlock the 
phone with a hack code and resume your regular service while your original 
phone is being repaired.

Anybody that knows the proper words for those terms want to confirm this? 
Can this be done with CDMA too?
