It might be okay on T-Mobile since they exclusively use GSM 1900, but it would have little to no roaming coverage since T-Mobile's roaming partners use 850mhz in a lot of areas.

Well since he is advertising for a UK company in his sig I don't think that is an issue for him or his intended customers.
