Its the different type of networks... We Singapore used to have another CDMA network together with GSM network...Now its only GSM...

Taken from wikipedia below:
2G

The GSM standard originated in Europe, where mobile phones occupy two frequency bands: one in the 900 MHz range and one in the 1800 MHz range. When GSM technology crossed the Atlantic to the Americas, it was impossible to reuse the same European frequency bands since those had already been allocated to other devices by the FCC. Hence, a different pair of frequency bands were made available for GSM use: the 850 and 1900 MHz bands.

In summary, a quad-band mobile phone is used to designate a phone that can operate in the following GSM frequency bands:

  • 850 MHz (U.S./Canada/Latin America/Brazil (Only the carrier Vivo)
  • 900 MHz (Europe/Brazil/Africa/Australia/Asia (ex Japan and S. Korea))
  • 1800 MHz (Europe/Australia/Asia/Brazil)
  • 1900 MHz (U.S./Canada/Latin America)

Some companies refer to this feature as "World Phone", due to the variety of bands a quad-band phone supports.

Note that hardly any quad band phones cover GSM 400 (450 - 480 MHz), a band used in sparsely populated areas or in less developed countries due to its longer range. While a "quint band" phone (400/850/900/1800/1900) is possible, none has yet been announced.

3G
HSUPA devices operate in the UMTS frequency bands 800/850/1900/2100 or 850/1700/1900/2100 MHz:

  • 2100 (downlink) / 1900 (uplink) for Europe, Africa, Australia, Asia (including South Korea and Japan) and Brazil (usually referred simply as UMTS2100
  • 1900 for North and South America
  • 2100 (downlink) / 1700 (uplink) for T-Mobile USA alone (usually referred simply as UMTS1700
  • 900 for Australia (Optus and Vodafone Australia in rural areas) and in countries that currently use GSM900 in the future
  • 850 for North and South America, Australia (NextG)
  • 800 for Japan (NTT DoCoMo in rural areas)

Note that being UMTS / HSDPA / HSUPA quad band doesn't mean that phone is a GSM / GPRS / EDGE quad band. However nearly all HSUPA quad band devices are EDGE quad band too.

Five and Six band phones (800/850/900/1700/1900/2100) are possible but none has been announced.
