SUMMARY

The discussion clarifies the differences between dual band and tri band cell phones, specifically in relation to GSM standards operating at 900 and 1800 MHz. Dual band phones can connect to two frequency bands, while tri band phones can connect to three, allowing for greater flexibility in network access. However, the frequency does not directly correlate to call clarity; it primarily affects carrier coverage. Users must choose a phone compatible with the frequency bands used by their mobile operators.

What do they mean w.r.t Cell Phones ?
 
Computer science news on Phys.org
the GSM standard can be implemented in different frequency bands. Two of the most usual are 900 and 1800 MHz. If your cell phone is not dual band you can register only to operators that use the band your phone is capable of.
 
Greater frequency ?
Does it mean more clarity ??
 
nope, just that the carrier is greater in one case. the specifications are basically the same...
