I think that's perhaps a bit of an exaggeration. I've had six or seven phone now which all worked in the USA, albeit they were tri-band phones. It's definitely NOT a Sim card issue. It's purely down to the hardware.

"Most mobile phone handsets on sale in UK will not work in US." That is what I was told by someone working for Car Phone Warehouse. So if they're correct, what does it depend on as to whether the UK handset will work in US I did think it was a SIM issue, but was told it's down to the handset used.
