AFAIK BBs are quadband. If yours is also unlocked then it should work in Canada with a SO SIM. It should also work, with appropriate SIM(s) in all countries that have GSM networks.

See GSM Operators, Coverage Maps and Roaming Information for country-by-country details.

Disclaimer: I don't have a BB of any model, let alone a 7290, so I can't say with absolute certainty that yours will or won't work in south Asia (or anywhere else.) But, in theory, it should.

7-11 does not support most of the data features used by the blackberry. If all you want to do is talk and simple text then it should work.
