Chinese Dual-bands that Work in Mexico City?

PhotoJim · 15-08-2011, 04:31

My Otech F1 quad-SIM Chinese phone *seems* to be quad band on the first two SIM slots. I'm not entirely sure that it's quad band on third and fourth SIMs. Unfortunately, it's really tough to find 850 MHz-only 2G GSM in North America; the providers tended to deploy GSM 1900 first as phones were available for that band before they were available for 850 MHz.

The phones are cheap enough, at least, that you can experiment easily enough.
