Will a Samsung Impression work in the Uk?

I'm planning on going to the US sometime this month, and i'm quite interested in the Samsung Impression a877, but i'm not sure if it would work in the uk.


I'm on pay as you go on o2, but would if work in the uk if i put that sim card in the samsung impression?|||Hi





Depends which one of these versions you got:





Quad-Band: GSM 850/900/1800/1900MHz; or Dual-Band: UMTS 850/1900MHz





It may be cheaper to buy a local handset on pay as you go whilst you are here:

Today, most telephones support multiple bands as used in different countries. These are typically referred to as multi-band phones. Dual-band phones can cover GSM networks in pairs such as 900 and 1800 MHz frequencies (Europe, Asia, Australia and Brazil) or 850 and 1900 (North America and Brazil). European tri-band phones typically cover the 900, 1800 and 1900 bands giving good coverage in Europe and allowing limited use in North America, while North American tri-band phones utilize 850, 1800 and 1900 for widespread North American service but limited worldwide use. A new addition has been the quad-band phone, supporting all four major GSM bands, allowing for global use.





Here are some 02 prepay cards and handsets;
