Tri Band Cell Phones

CECT P168 Tri Band Version Versus the Quad Band Version - A Comparison of the Differences

By Rae Edwards

In terms of sales, the tri and quad band versions of the CECT P168 (aka iClone) are extremely close. Of course, the main difference between the two is that the tri band version supports / 900 / 1800 / 1900 MHZ, while the quad band version has added the 850 MHZ. Generally, most networks work on a tri band phone, except for some AT&T regions that use 850. If you travel extensively, a quad band is probably not a bad idea to ensure that all bases are covered.
Both phones look very similar and function identically. Both are dual sim, unlocked, flat screen phones with the finger touch interface. They allow you to surf the web, email, text, and send messages while watching and listening to MP3s and MP4s, taking photos on the built in digital camera, and enjoying Bluetooth. Both have removable batteries which frees you from having to depend on the manufacturer. Having two phone numbers with the dual sim feature has been particularly useful and I really like having FM radio as well.
The quad band version did add a slide unlock feature, webcam, and upgraded firm ware.

Your Cell-Phone - Don't Leave Home Without It!

By Elizabeth Day

International cell phones and calling rates have dropped dramatically in recent years.
Many options are available for holiday travelers looking for cheap cell-phone service. Most countries use GSM (global service for mobile) technology.
Unlocked international GSM phones are available that aren't tied into any one service provider. • Dual-band - Dual-band works in Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and much of South America.
• Quad-band - A quad-band phone allows you to roam almost anywhere globally. Many countries in South America only have 850 MHz GSM service while both 1900 MHZ and 850 MHz GSM services are supported in the USA. The SIM card holds all of a subscriber's personal information and phone settings. The card can be switched from phone to phone, making the new phone receive all calls to the subscriber's number.
International unlocked GSM phones can be rented. If you will be using your phone more than once it is more economical to buy a cell phone package.
Buying a cell phone at a destination is always an option. If you prefer, use the phone you have. More American cell phones are compatible with international systems. Providers are expanding their line of international-compatible phones. Check with your provider before buying or renting an international phone. Phones often need to have their international capability enabled and many offer special international rate packages.
Most cell-phone providers provide information and tips for international phone use at their web sites.
