Dear Sir,
I have tested and verified on several phones. This is a BUG.
The trouble is that 1800 MHz transmission is identified as 1900 MHz and vice 
versa for common ARFCNs. This is the opposite for the design, explained below.
https://www.3gpp.org/ftp/Specs/archive/05_series/05.05/0505-8k0.zip


A multi-band MS shall interpret ARFCN numbers 512 to 810 as either DCS 1800 or 
PCS 1900 frequencies according to the parameter BAND_INDICATOR when received in 
other than the DCS 1800 or PCS 1900 bands. If received in the DCS 1800 or PCS 
1900 bands, those ARFCN numbers shall be interpreted as frequencies in the same 
band. The BAND_INDICATOR is broadcast on BCCH, PBCCH and SACCH. The most 
recently received value shall be applied by the mobile station. If the 
parameter is not broadcast, the default value is DCS 1800 frequencies.

BAND_INDICATOR (1 bit field)
See 3GPP TS 05.05 for definition of this field, which is coded as follows:
0 ARFCN indicates 1800 band
1 ARFCN indicates 1900 band
