does my European mobile phone work in NY?

Good morning,
I am from Greece, Europe and I am travelling to NY next Thursday. Your company AT&T provides network services for mobile phones to the costumers of my network provider in Greece when they travel in NY (my Greek provider is WIND) so I will be using your network and services for my mobile phone, while I will be in NY (my company told me that you will support me via Singular Genesis).
So I kindly ask if the system in NY supports the bandwidth GSM 900/1800 or 3G 900/2100. These are the bandwidths that my personal mobile phone supports. So will I be able to use my mobile phone in NY or I need a device that supports a different bandwidth?
 
Thank you in advance!

No.  Your phone will not work on US carriers.

 

US GSM for  3G is band 850 and 1900.  You need both, 850 is primary.
