WHAT’S IMPORTANT?
Globetrotters may prefer a tri-band mobile phone as they are compatible with the 1900 MHz frequency range used in the US. The most demanding of travellers may choose a quadri-band phone to use when in GSM network countries.
Communication quality is also a very important factor; however, only a trial will allow you to determine this. Compatibility with EFR (Enhanced Full Rate) technology will guarantee high quality sound. However, a telephone is not only for making calls; the recent trend in SMS use, now evolved with icons (EMS) and even MMS, are all witness to that.
Nothing is more annoying than a flat battery in a mobile, especially when it is also used as an address book! Battery autonomy is a critical point when choosing between models. Recharging your phone every night is a thing of the past, as battery technology has so greatly improved. Most models last at least three days, but this varies between models. To avoid disappointment, check the number of hours of autonomy on stand-by and in talk-time.
