Thanks for the clarification. According to Wikipedia, "other areas" is confined to the Americas: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GSM_frequency_bands#GSM-850_and_GSM-1900 It used to be that "three-band" phones were referred to as "world phones" (i.e. can be used anywhere in the world), now it looks like we'll need quad-band phones to achieve this (or GNU Radio? http://www.gnuradio.org/trac).
