its just the international bands for GSM.The more the bands your handset has the more countries you will be able to use it in.The handset will automatically switch to the appropriate frequencies. * +

GSM uses 4 bands. They are 850, 900, 1800 and 1900. What service will you be using? Fido uses the 850 band, not sure if exclusively though. Your 6230i is equipped with 900, 1800 and 1900 bands and may not work on that provider's service therefore. You need to know what frequencies the service providers use there and whether your phone is compatible with their frequency or frequencies. * +

So if you have a quad band phone no matter where you go you will have the capability of using a GSM service there, provided that your sim will roam on that network or that you have a local sim for the networks available in that country. * +
