What is a Tri- Band phone?
• Triband phones work on 3 of the 4 GSM frequency bands. • Triband phones can be used in North America, Europe, Asia, Australia, and Africa since all the networks support at least one of the 3 GSM bands on the phone. • Some Triband phones dont support the 850MHz band which some parts of North & South America use. However as long as there is also a 1900MHz band in the area a Tri band phone should work fine in those areas. Before deciding upon purchasing a triband phone, be sure that the service provider in your area supports the 1900Mhz band or else the phone may not be able to get service. If you are unsure of this, please consult with your service provider or purchase one of our quadband phones.
A Tri-band phone is a phone that operates on three frequency bands, for example, Global System for Mobile communication (GSM) 900MHz, GSM 1800MHz, and GSM 1900MHz. A GSM tri-band phone can be widely used in Europe, Africa, Asia, North America, and Australia, because the same phone can be used on different networks using different frequency bands. The GSM 850MHz band is exclusive to North America and parts of South America & the Caribbean.
