Also, Cricket and Consumer Cellular, and I don't know if any
other NVMO's are GSM.

How much do you want to spend and do you want to be able to
text and use contacts? I believe my phone is a CDMA phone.
Depending on what you want to do, it may be the best option
for the money, even though it has accessibility problems
that you need to use work arounds to edeal with.

I'm using T Mobile, which is the same kind of network as
AT&T, and others can verify whether it is a CDMA network.

Hello,

I need a recommendation for a phone, not smart, to be used
on a CDMA carrier. If it has speech, great, but I can work
without it if I have to.

Thanks very much for your help.

Right, AT&T is GSM.

I'll check if my phone comes in both GSM and CDMA models.

T-Mobile is not CDMA it is for GSM most companies are. The only companies that or CDMA networks are Verizon and Sprint. And of course they're knock off carriers such as virgin mobile straight talk and whatever else Verizon carries. Oh and boost mobile.

As of 2014, according to this article , this was the situation.  I doubt it has changed but I don't know.
For instance, in the United States, two of the four major carriers (Verizon and Sprint) use CDMA while the other two (AT&T and T-Mobile) use GSM.

I can't be sure if you can get a GSMA version.  Here is an excerpt from a page showing specifications:
CDMA  800 / 850 / 1900
GSM  850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
I don't know enough technically about phone networks to know.  Even though it gives those numbers and shows GSMA before them, in looking at the excerpts of many pages in a Google search, I don't see GSMA carriers listed in those stated it can be used with.
