Here in usa, all you need is 850mhz and 1900 mhz. If the handset has 1800,
it wouldn't matter. Any 850/1900 mhz phone will work here.

Yes, but you won't be able to use any networks in the 900 band.

There are no 900 networks in North America except Cuba.

As long as the phone is not locked to another carrier, it should work fine.
