As you can see from GSM Association website, they both have 900 and 1800.

just because it only states they are using GSM 900 doesn't mean they don't have 1800, the frequency table is a bit out of date, it says Tele2 and Vodafone in Sweden only uses 900, they have both used 1800 since several years

As I said, very interesting site. So interesting that I spent about half an hour browsing, checking out which countries are planning to implement EDGE (not NZ) and the planned rollout of 3G (NZ among the last) not to mention we only have one band (900). Seems like a consistent theme here.
Please note that Vodafone NZ has no GSM competition and the CDMA competition (Telecom NZ) are renouned for only introducing the bare minimum technology possible.

Why is New Zealand being included in this discussion? Read the title! Different country.
:-D wot are the differences between the various frequencies? Speed of data transmission, quality of sound, etc?

GSM900 is the basic frequency for the GSM networks (exept US and some providers only running on 1800), in areas where a lot of people are using mobilephones (big cities, malls etc etc) the 900 frequency is not enough and therefore they also have to use 1800 to increase call capacity. There is no difference in speed and call quality between the two frequencies, however 900MHz can reach longer distances than 1800MHz, and 1800Mhz is also more sensitive against obsticles in the surroundings

Cytech is right.
GSM 900 (and GSM 850) covers a bigger/widder area and its has the better penetration capability. However, one basestation (mast) of GSM 1800 or GSM 1900 can handle more calls simultaneously.
