    As the question states, what banding of phone would I need if I didn't want to have to change phones when I move? So I could just stick a new SIM in when I arrive in the country. I don't know much about it tbh :P

    Any help is appreciated, thanks for your time!

    You'll need something with a GSM radio, which is pretty much any phone you buy considering this is what we use in Britain too [=
