How international roaming works, and why your device matters


  • Four frequencies (850/900/1800/1900 MHz) are used for wireless services worldwide.
  • Each phone has a radio transmitter-receiver that works on one frequency (single-band) or on more than one frequency (multi-band).
  • Since frequencies vary from carrier to carrier and country to country, you’ll need a phone or device for international roaming that works on the frequency where you're travelling. If you have a “quad-band” device, it will work virtually anywhere there’s a wireless signal.
