Very much depends where your friend is in the states. He did check before going that his phone would work where he was going.

The Nokia 2630 is only a dual band phone.

It however comes in two flavours.

Either a 900/1800 Dual Band (like you'd buy here in Europe, Australasia, Middle East etc).

and

850/1900 Dual Band - for the USA market.

As the Nokia 2630 was bought in the UK it will be the 900/1800 model and not the 850/1900 model and therefore will not work in the USA.

The minimum you need for the USA is tri-band, as the USA uses different frequency than most of the rest of the world.
