A feature that allows phones to operate on three frequency bands, (for example GSM 900, GSM 1800, and GSM 1900) meaning it can be widely used in Europe, Africa, Asia, North America, and Australia.
Refers to mobile phones that can switch between three different bands of frequencies (GSM 900, 1800 and 1900).
Mobile that can automatically switch between 900MHz, 1800MHz, 1900MHz frequencies. The 1900MHz frequency is used by many networks in the USA. See also Dual-Band and Quad-Band.
Mobile phones capable of operating on three frequency bands (for use in different countries). Tri-band includes 900MHz and 1800MHz and the 'American GSM' (aka PCS) 1900MHz.
Mobile phones which are able to operate on three GSM frequency bands 900, 1800 and 1900 MHz.
Triple-band phones are capable of operating on three GSM frequency bands – the GSM 900 and GSM 1800 frequencies used in over 100 countries worldwide plus the GSM 1900 frequency band that’s increasingly being adopted in America.
A tri-band cell phone can be used in the European E and D frequencies as well as in the USA and Japan. (see Dual band)
Different mobile phone networks operate at different frequencies, which means that if you wish to use your mobile phone outside your home country, you generally need a handset that supports multiple frequency bands. A tri-band phone operates on three frequency bands, GSM900, GSM1800 and GSM1900, allowing you to use it in Europe, Africa, Asia, nearly all of North America and Australia. See also Dual-band
Tri-band is a digital cellular technology. Tri-band capability gives you the ability to make and receive mobile phone calls from around the world. A number of GSM phones, such as Nokia 6310i, are compatible with all 3 GSM frequencies: GSM 900 and 1800 bands (prevalent in Europe, Africa and Asia) and North-America's GSM 1900 band. Yet others, such as the Nokia 6650, can make use of WCDMA networks as well as GSM networks.
Some operators transmit on a radio frequency band of 900 MHz, whereas others use 1800 MHz or 1900 MHz. Phones, called tri-band, can understand all three. This gives you more choice when moving around, where agreements cover all three kinds of networks. (See also Dual-band)
Phone that is capable of operating on three different frequency bands Unlock / Unlocking A word used to describe the removal of subsidy protection from a handset. Example would be “to extract the six-digit code from a CDMA handset in order to activate than phone on another carrier.
Tri-Band or Triple Band mobile phones support three different frequency bands and can therefore work globally. In Europe GSM networks operate on two frequency bands: on 900 or 1800 MHz. In the United States, GSM operates on 1900 MHz. See also Dual Band.
Refers to a handset that works on three of the frequencies that exist in the world of digital telecommunications.
A Tri-Band phone is capable of being used in a large part of the world - not only the uk but also most of Europe, It can connect to GSM 900 / GSM 1800 & GSM 1900 networks
Definition: Describes mobile phones capable of operating on mobile network frequency bands GSM900; GSM1800 (both used by the Optus Network) and GSM1900 (commonly used in the USA) where available.
A wireless phone operates on three frequency bands.
Networks which can operate on three different frequencies.
Triple band phones are capable of operating in more than 100 countries and across three GSM bands.
A phone that will work on all three GSM frequencies (see GSM above) including the GSM1900 frequency adopted in the USA.
A description of a wireless phone that works on three bands. CDMA and TDMA tri-band phones work on 1900MHz and 800MHz digital frequencies, and 800MHz analog cellular--popular standards in the United States. Tri- band GSM phones are all digital, operating on 1900Mhz in the United States and 1800Mhz and 900Mhz in other countries.
This refers to mobile phones which operate on three GSM frequency bands: GSM900, GSM1800 and GSM1900.
Refers to a mobile phone able to operate on the three internationally designated GSM frequencies- 900, 1800 and 1900MHz
Term applying to cellular handset/phone that will work on 800MHz analogue, 800MHz digital and 1900MHz frequencies. A tri-band cellular phone will operate on three different frequencies, depending on the available network. Outside America, the GSM frequencies used are 900MHz and 1800MHz. 'American GSM', or PCS, operates at 1900MHz. The introduction of tri-band phones is a further step towards true worldwide roaming.
A network infrastructure or wireless phone designed to operate in three frequency bands: 800 MHz, 900 MHz and 1800MHz.
A phone which can operate on three bands, typically a GSM phone operating on 900 MHz, 1800 MHz, and 1900 MHz.
