Australian Mobile Phones in the USA

[Maxiewolf]

Frequency in the LG Shine (if its the old one with the scroll wheel type thing) are 900/1800/1900 GSM

There was another version that had a (reeally annoying) joystick type thing from telstra that had the 3G850 mhz.

but yeah either of them shoudl work on the 1900 frequency anyway. it may just be a case of changing the setting from auto to manual. which in an lg is usualy pretty easy.

But if your getting a new one just ask for quad band instead of tri and you should be fine.

Thanks for the replies.

A lot of the new phones I've been looking at are 3G 900 / 2100 MHz ones, which it would appear may not work in the USA? To really protect myself I'd want something that's a GSM tri or quad band?
