I see your Nextel i90 is not an iDEN/GSM900 model like the i2000plus, but iDEN only. Use MIKE from Telus in Canada only.

Well, here is a comprehensive source on foreign carriers, GSM World.
Cuba has a GSM 900 MHz network C_Com, but I doubt we'll find a US carrier that can roam with them(diplomatically speaking). Mexico has TELCEL GSM on 1900 MHz (darn small coverage), and Honduras has no listed GSM.

Cingular Wireless has their lists and rates for TDMA and GSM.

ATTWS has two plans, depending on whether you have a GSM or multi-network phone (Siemens S46), or a TDMA phone like the Nokia 6160. With the first, you use your existing phone. With the second, you need a 900/1800(/1900) MHz GSM phone and receive a British Telecom SIM (marked ATT Wireless WorldConnect) matching your TDMA's phone number. See more here.

T-Mobile see here, and Verizon Wireless here.

Good luck in your chosing.

FYI... Mexico is included under America's Choice PRL at a rate of .69c per minute.
