Will a dual band phone bought in Belgium work in the US


Will a dual band phone bought in Belgium work in the US?
My friend just bought a Sagem my150x and she's going to the states in Febuary. The phone is only a dual-band and she wants to know if she'll be able to text from the states too, [she won't be calling because that's just ridiculously expensive.]

Unfourtunately no. The My150X uses GSM 900 / GSM 1800 bands which are European and not the GSM 8500 / GSM 1900 bands used in North America.
