only 900 Mhz frequencies phone are capable for Asian countries like Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan etc..??????????

well, here is my saying

CELL phones
in nepal there is  both CDMA and GSM  netowks.

if you look for CDMA cell phones, telecom has CDMA 2000, 1x technology with 800MHz frequency band.


I guess you are up for GSM sets.

nepal Telecom  uses two frequency band. 900MHz and 1800 MHz. So phones with  only 1800 MHz band also work. but you may find problem coz telecom has a combined network of both bands. still only 1800 freq. band phones work.

and, In major areas of ktm valley, telecom provides WCDMA technology  i.e. 3G services. so 3G phones  do work provided you own a 3G sim.

have a good day..!!!


PS. you can surf internet from 71 districts of nepal, with your laptop  having sufficient battery life@ a max connection speed of 153.6 kbps. wirelessly...!!!!!
