What are these bands not supported in UK? I thought it is just O2 Band 20, are there others and which network please?
BTW, we like your post, since we can check out which phone to take as well when going abroad.
Bit tricky to use when going abroad because it's hard to know which network you will connect to when abroad. I'm with EE and if I went to the US I obviously wouldn't connect to EE, I may connect with At&t or Verizon etc.
Why is that tricky, if I went abroad, I took phone(s) based on assumed list of network providers that would work with my phone(s). Then upon arrivival just sign up.
If you went abroad on holiday the average person wouldn't sign up to a brand new contract or use a payg sim just for the holiday, they would use their current one and their current supplier would use another providers network. My point is its hard to figure out which network they would borrow.
True for roaming partners in USA, our solution was to buy a cheapo Chinese phone as spare for USA that supports most of the US network frequencies, as you said, it can be tricky.
Especially in USA where they do cdma for lots of providers. Don't think it will stay like that for much longer tho.
