Triband Phone in Europe

Hello,
I was wondering if a triband phone (850/1800/1900) would get good coverage in Italy and Spain?

Thanks!

In italy practically you could have coverage only in cities (with some difficulties into the buildings)

And in Spain even worse... Only UK, Austria, Germany and Holland would be fine, I guess, in all the other countries you'd have problems, expecially out of bigger towns.

Thank you for the information. This is very good to know. I'll make sure I have a Quad band phone in that case.

Or buy a cheap 900/1800 phone on ebay or when you get to your destination. There are quite a number of cheap quad bands these days anyway.
