Taking your mobile phone along with you, while you are touring abroad, roaming charges may make it an impractical proposition for leisure travel or for any other kind of travel for that matter. This is of course if your phone is compatible with the frequency bands of the country that you are visiting. First you need to have a GSM mobile handset and such American phones mostly do not work in most countries in the world. North American and Canadian networks operate on 850MHz and 1900MHz frequency bands, which is different from most of the countries in the world. That is what sets these two places apart from the other parts of the world, as far as GSM mobile telephony is concerned. The only solution is to buy or rent a compatible handset for the countries that you are visiting. This would be a Quad-band or at least a Tri-band GSM
