Until recently, mobile (cell) phone technology in the US lagged years behind what's been available to us in the rest of the world precisely because the US used its own CDMA phone system, rather than the global GSM standard that the rest of the world used. It's only now that GSM is becoming more widely available in the US that people there are now getting what we've had for years, and there are
still things which we regard as normal that aren't available in the US, such as the ability to send "long" SMS messages.
