What options are available for connecting to a CDMA network?
There are no CDMA (more correctly known as CDMA2000) modules for hobby projects. There are a lot of reasons for this, which I won't get into, but suffice it to say, it is the way it is.

EDIT

Okay, I'll bite (just a little).


I think the most important reason is CDMA is actually kind of USA-centric technology. While there are now a few other countries that have CDMA networks deployed, it pales in comparison to the number GSM networks globally.
So in the cellular services world there is a service offering called machine to machine (M2M). What this is is a service to allow various machines (think parking meters, vending machines, ATMs, etc.) to have a data connection for control and status messages. These services are usually bought in bulk at rates much lower than equivalent consumer services would cost.
The rest from here on out is just economies of scale. If I am making an ATM machine, would I rather be limited to a handful of countries, or be able to sell in almost all countries. The obvious choice is the latter, so these manufacturers use GSM.
The reason a hobbyist can get anything cheap is because some other industry is using a lot of them. For example accelerometers used to be crazy expensive, that was until millions of cell phones started shipping with them every year, and now you can get them for pretty cheap. GSM modules are relatively cheap because there are lot of devices being made with them for the above mentioned reasons. CDMA modules are not so cheap because there are not a lot of devices using them.
