As for the GSM bands you listed, it won't work in Canada. The GSM bands SpeakOut uses is the 850/1900 bands. Looks like the THL T200 is a phone for use in Europe. If you google it, it might actually be able to access all the GSM bands. I've never heard of that phone.

It looks like you are in luck. I did some more research on your phone, http://www.androidauthority.co.....ne-377104/ and it appears that the phone also works in the 850/1900 mhz GSM band, and the 3G 850 mhz band as already mentioned. This phone, however, does not support the 3G 1900 mhz band, so it is not a phone intended for the North American market. The phone should work in Canada though, if you use one of the big 3 carriers or their affiliate carriers.
I personally would not buy the phone. If the manufacturer thinks it best to cut corner in the frequency bands, what other corners are they cutting? Phones ordered direct from China are getting better, but they are generally still not very good. Case in point, 2.5 hour battery life is rather abysmal.

In Toronto WCDMA 850 will work for Bell, Telus, and Rogers network. Can do without WCDMA 1900 in Toronto for Rogers. There may be some pocket were it is required though ( I haven't come across them). WCDMA 2100 does not work in Canada. WCDMA = 3G
I have used a Chinese phone in Toronto (Leagoo Lead 1 with WCDMA 850/2100) with Rogers (almost 6 months), and tried my friends Bell and Telus sim cards which also worked with my phone. So you can get by with only WCDMA 850.
For GSM, will not work with Bell or Telus. For Rogers you need GSM 850/1900. GSM = 2 G.
You only need one of either WCDMA OR GSM frequency to match for phone use. For DATA usage, must match the needed WCDMA frequency 850 for 3g for decent download/upload speed. 2G or GSM for data is too slow.
Logic is use WCDMA with tablet plan for data - Bell, Rogers, Telus. Use GSM for phone service with Rogers. For Dual Sim Chinese phone.
