If I bought a Triband Phone from the US and got it unlocked would it work in
the UK with my sim?
Thanx

You should check which three bands it supports. If bought in the US, a
"Tri-band" phone might support 850/1800/1900 rather than 900/1800/1900. If
this was the case, only the 1800 would be any use in the U.K. How much
difference it would make in 'real life' situations, I have no idea.

1800 is used practically in all of the UK by O2, T-Mobile, Orange, and
Vodafone so there are no issues with a SIM card from any of those
carriers.

Yeah, I figured. I didnt have any specific details so I thought I would
point out that there could be some difference.

However, O2 & Vodafone only use a handful of 1800 band microcells to fill in
gaps in their 900 band coverage, a phone that doesn't work on 900 band would
be of *extremely* limited use (to the point of uslessness) on either O2 or
Vodaphone in the UK.
