Lost in thought, The Phones that works in Nepal are the Tri-band or Quad-band phones. Tri-Band phone uses 850/1800/1900 Mhz frequencies and Quad-Band phone uses 850/900/1800/1900 Mhz frequencies. If you wanna buy a phone here and use it in Nepal, make sure you get the phone that has 900 Mhz frequencies cause only 900 Mhz frequencies phone are capable for Asian countries like Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan etc..If it is a Tri-band phone with 900 Mhz you can use it in Nepal but make sure you unlock it before taking it to Nepal. You can get it unlocked in $5 in any phone wholesale stores. But if the phone is a Quad-Band phone, you just have to buy the phone, you dont even have to unlock it..it is already unlocked and you can use that phone anywhere in the world... Here are some Quad-band phones which you dont have to unlock: Motorola V3-Razr(Silver and Black) Motorola v188 MOtorola v300 Motorola v330 Motorola V551... Samsung R225, Samsung C225 will work ne Nepal if you unlock it. Most Nokias does not work in Nepal. Sprint and Verizon phones will not work in Nepal cause these phones dont take sim card and uses a different technology CDMA AND TDMA.... Hope that helps!! Thanks, ~nepaligurl~
