Dual band mobile phones can work on networks operating different frequency bands. Often urban areas operate on 1800, while suburbs use the 900-band. This is especially useful if you travel abroad. Some phones are able to switch between GSM 900,1800,1900 (tri-band) allowing you full coverage in Europe, America and Asia.
A feature that allows certain mobile phones to operate on either GSM 900 or GSM 1800 networks (Europe/Africa/Asia-Pacific) (See GSM, Tri Band).
Mobile phones capable of operating on two frequency bands, namely 900MHz and 1800MHz.
A feature on some mobile phones that allows the handset to operate using either the GSM1800 and GSM900 frequencies to overcome capacity restrictions. All new mobile phones in the AUSTRALIA can utilise this service if available.
Dual band technology enables a network operator with spectrum at both 900MHz and 1800MHz to support the seamless use of dual band handsets across both frequencies. By supporting seamless handovers between 900MHz and 1800MHz, dual band networks can provide major benefits in terms of capacity enhancement and revenue optimisation through the introduction of new services.

A feature on some digital phones that allows it to operate on analog networks when digital service is not available and vice versa.
The term given to describe the technology allowing you use your phone abroad in a wide range of countries.
Dual band refers to the capability of GSM network infrastructure and handsets to operate across two frequency bands. The first dual band GSM network infrastructure and dual band capable handsets were available from Motorola in 1997, with the first dual band 900/1800MHz European networks implemented the same year. Dual band technology enables a network operator with spectrum at both 900MHz and 1800MHz to support the seamless use of dual band handsets across both frequencies. By supporting seamless handovers between 900MHz and 1800MHz, dual band networks can provide major
Dual Band is a digital cellular technology. Dual Band capability gives you the ability to make and receive mobile phone calls from around the world. The majority of GSM mobile phones available today are dual band enabled, meaning they are capable of using both the GSM 900 and GSM 1800 bands prevalent in Europe, Africa and Asia.
Phone that is capable of operating on two different frequency bands Eeprom Electrically Erasable Programmable ROM
Dual band allows mobile phones to work on networks that operate on different frequency bands.
Mobile phones which support transmission and reception of calls on the 900MHz and 1800MHz bands with seamless handover between the two frequency bands.
mobile phones capable of operating on two frequency bands such as 900 MHz and 1800 MHz.
Ability of phone to work on both 900MHz and 1800MHz networks. E.g. One2one Nokia 8210.
Dual band phones or radios are capable of using two different frequencies of the same technologies. For example, a TDMA or CDMA phone that can use either the 800 or 1900 MHz band. There are also Triple Band phones in the GSM market that support 900, 1800, and 1900 MHz. Dual band phones allow callers to access different frequencies in the same or different geographic regions, essentially giving their phone a wider coverage area.
These are mobile phones which are able to switch between GSM frequency bands. In AUSTRALIA some network operators utilise switching between GSM1800 and GSM900 to overcome capacity restrictions. All new mobile phones in AUSTRALIA can utilise this service if available. The term is also used to describe mobile phones that switch between GSM900 and GSM 1900 for use in USA, although only a few handsets offer this functionality.
A wireless phone that is capable of operating on two frequency bands .
Dual band mobile phones can work on networks that operate on two different frequency bands. In the United States, dual band technology enables a network operator with spectrum at both 900MHz and 1800MHz to support the seamless use of dual band handsets across both frequencies. Dual band networks can provide major benefits in terms of capacity enhancement and revenue optimisation through the introduction of new services.
A wireless handset that works on 800 MHz frequencies and 1900 MHz PCS frequencies.
Describes a handset that works on 800 MHz cellular, (Digital) and 1900 MHz PCS (Digital) frequencies. Sometimes written as 1.9GHz. These phones do not access the Analog version of the 800 MHz band.
Dual band mobile phones can work on networks that operate on different frequency bands. This is useful if you move between areas covered by different networks.
A wireless phone which is capable of operating on two different frequencies.
Functionality that allows a mobile phone to transmit in two frequencies for wider coverage area. For example, a mobile phone may be equipped to use both the 800 MHz cellular and 1900 MHz PCS frequencies to send and receive calls.
The Cellular networks in the UK operate on two frequencies or bands. These are GSM900 and GSM1800. Dual band usually describes a mobile phone handset that can switch between these bands. All new phones in the UK are dual band. (See also tri-band)
A feature on some wireless phones that allows the handset to operate using either the 800 MHz cellular or the 1900 MHz PCS frequencies.
The capability of GSM infrastructure elements and handsets to work across both the 900MHz and 1800MHz bands. The capability to seamlessly handover between the two bands offers operators major capacity gains
Dual band mobile phones work on more than one network.
Refers to certain models of phones equipped to use both the 800 MHz cellular and 1900 MHz PCS frequencies to send and receive calls. The device can switch between bands. Same as Dual Mode.
Refers to a phone capable of operating in two different frequency bands
Phones that can switch between two different bands of frequencies. All new phones in the UK are now dual-band, capable of switching between GSM1800 and GSM900 frequencies. Useful for travellers (particularly those on One 2 One and Orange), allowing roaming on a greater number of networks across the world. Vodafone and BT Cellnet also utilise dual-band capabilities in the UK by using 1800MHz bandwidth to solve capacity problems on their 900MHz networks. Phones that can switch between GSM900 and GSM1900 operation, for use by travellers to America (the Bosch World 718, Ericsson I888 and Ericsson T28 World), are also now available.
Dual band mobile phones can work on networks that operate on different frequency bands. It is useful for travellers who move between areas that are covered by different network providers. Some networks operate on two bands, for instance GSM-1800 in town centers and GSM-900 in the rest of the country, depending on how strong the signal needs to be
In mobile phones, dual band refers to functionality that allows a cellphone to support two frequency bands out of the four major GSM (or TDMA) bands. This is important because different countries peg the allowed transmission frequency at different values. A cellphone with dual band 850/1800 MHz, for example, will work in both the United States (850 MHz) and India (1800 MHz).
