GSM Frequencies by Country

Not all mobile phones will operate globally. Will yours?

Though the frequencies used around the globe are known, not every phone is capable of dealing with these. The best way to find out is to check your manual for the frequencies supported and then come back to see if any of them is listed for the country you want to go to.

If you know you have a quad-band mobile phone, you'll be fine. If not you might want to consider buying a cheap one that is suitable for your trip (also eases the pain if your phones gets stolen).
