I bought a cell phone in Japan in 2005-Casio G'zOne(Qualcomm 3G CDMA). Will it work now if I can unlock the phone and change the SIM card?

I doubt it would work in USA. Do you realize that 3G CDMA is offerred only by Verizon and Sprint in USA, but not by AT&T and T-Mobile? Do you know that they don't have SIM cards for domestic CDMA phones? (They provide a SIM card for international phones with GSM bands, like a blackberry.) So, how do you get a SIM card from Verizon or Sprint for your Casio G'zOne? Besides, AU (for which the phone is for) uses the 2100MHz and 850MHz frequencies, whereas Verizon/Sprint use 1900MHz and 850MHz.

i concur with Alex , in the above answer, a CDMA network doesnt ( mostly) use SIM cards, and its only the GSM networks that can be mostly unlocked and used. try http://www.theunlockspot.com/ which gives you a list of GSM networks that can be used with unlocked phones
