In the US, more important than the Band support is the protocol used. The most common protocols used in the US are CDMA (used by Sprint and VerizonWireless) and GSM (used by AT&T). If your carrier uses GSM, the you are probably good since (in the most cases) all you have to do is move the SIM card from an old phone to the new phone. If your carrier uses CDMA then things get iffy. Officially (as I currently understand it (according the the FCC)) one is suppose to be allowed to use any FCC approved phone (for the correct protocol) on another carrier. However, in many case different carriers do not support foreign phones.

Bands: When buying a phone for international use Bands can be important. Different countries use different frequency bands. In the US (I think) there are only two bands used. VZW tends to use the lower band and Sprint the upper, I do not know what AT&T uses. In general all of VZW and Sprint's phone sold now can use either bands as needed.
