CDMA is a standard. Bell and Telus are both CDMA providers in Canada. Unfortunately they also refuse to activate each others phones onto their networks. Since the ID is part of the phone and not a removable chip your Bell phone will always be a Bell phone.
If you want to go GSM here, you can go with any of our long list of GSM providers: Rogers.
