GSM phones as far as I know are only available in 900/1800/1900MHz
variations. So it has to be one of them. I believe 1900MHz is only
used in North America, although I could be wrong. Frequencies are also
dependent on the network used and not only on geographical area.

Yes, 900,1800,1900 are the frequencies. I want to know what cities use
which.  For example, i am pretty sure Delhi is on 1800 and BOmbay is
on 900, because a GSM phone I bought in INdia is a dual band with
those frequencies.  A USA GSM phone I have is 900/1900 (i think). 
What I want is a list like this

City, Frequency, Network providing that frequency

for example

Delhi, 900, Hutchinson Essar (Hutch)
Bombay, 1800, Orange

http://www.gsmworld.com/index.shtml lists the frequencies of GSM
around the world. There are 5 GSM frequencies in use in the world
900 / 1800 - Most of the world uses these, 1800 tends to be used to
supplement 900 in urban areas, although there are networks which are
solely 1800
850 / 1900 - US / Canada / Mexico (perhaps more of central America?)

There is also 450 which is rarely used but has been approved for use
but I don't know of a netowrk using it.

Your cities should all be covered by a 900MHz phone except for Brazil
which I think is all 1800Mhz
