Actually the original band was 900...then in Europe they ran out of Frequencies, so they had to create the 1800. In the US, the 900 and 1800 frequencies were already gone, so they created 1900. The problem with 1900 is that it does not penetrate buildings very well, and its also starting to get crowded in metropolitan areas. 850 also allows fewer towers that are more dispersed, so it becomes cheaper to cover more area.

1900 really sucks bad on penetration through buildings. My service is cut in half or worse usually. |
