The following table shows the standardized UMTS bands and their regional use. The main UMTS bands are in bold print. Networks on UMTS-bands 1 and 8 are suitable for global roaming in ITU Regions 1, 2 (some countries) and 3. Networks on UMTS bands 2 and 4 are suitable for roaming in ITU Region 2 (Americas) only. Networks on UMTS band 5 are ...
For technical details on UMTS and a list of its designated operating frequencies, bands, and their common names, see UMTS frequency bands. Networks on the global UMTS-bands 1 and 8 are suitable for global roaming in ITU Regions 1, 2 (some countries) and 3. Networks on UMTS-bands 2 and 4 allow roaming in ITU Region 2 (Americas) only.
The Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) is a 3G mobile cellular system for networks based on the GSM standard. Developed and maintained by the 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project), UMTS is a component of the International Telecommunication Union IMT-2000 standard set and compares with the CDMA2000 standard set for networks based on the competing cdmaOne technology.
For technical details on LTE and a list of its designated operating frequencies, bands, and roaming possibilities, see LTE frequency bands. Bands 33 to 44 are assigned to TDD-LTE. Note: This list of network deployments does not imply any widespread deployment or national coverage.
A point-to-point dedicated channel for transmitting user traffic information between a UE and the network. UL/DL 5.3.1.1.1 [4] 3_LOGICAL PCCH: paging control channel Transfers paging information. Used when the network does not know the location cell of the UE or the UE is in sleep mode. DL 5.3.1.1.1 [4] 2_TRANSPORT BCH: broadcast channel
Although both are different and independent from one another, both the CDMA and UMTS networks use the 850 and 1900 MHz frequencies. Bell's LTE network uses Band 4 Advanced Wireless Services (AWS 1700/2100 MHz) and Band 2 Personal Communications Service (PCS 1900 MHz) in most coverage areas and Band 7 (2600 MHz) in a few areas.

Today, most telephones support multiple bands as used in different countries to facilitate roaming. 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).
