Handset required for roaming in the network of a foreign operator

Roaming in the foreign Operator's mobile network requires you to use a compatible handset. Networks of most of the Operators world-wide operate in the same frequency band as that used by Indian GSM networks i.e. 900 / 1800 /2100 Mhz. However, many GSM mobile networks in North and South American Continents operate in 1900 Mhz. frequency band. Some networks in these continents even use 850 Mhz. frequency band. It is mandatory to ensure that your Mobile handset is capable of working in the frequency band(s) as used by the networks in the country you are visiting. BSNL subscribers going to Japan and South Korea may note that compatible handsets are available at the Airports in these countries on rent, however, the subscriber should arrange to confirm the same on his own.
