I've heard of these, seen pix, but nothing for 850/1900 mhz.

| Depending on your phone you should be able to check which system (sid) the
phone is using. That number then translates to either the 850 or 1900
network. I remember this being discussed before. Maybe check out
howardforums for more info.
