ciao! (again Luca here! :-)  )

yup... the comment you have added to the main section is quite straightforward and more likely to warn readers about the troubles they may run into when using an european smartphone in the USA. :-)

I want to add just another remark... even LTE support (both in the SIM/contract and in the smartphone) is not the miracle cure to all mobile problems in the USA! the smartphone (Moto G5) I was using in the USA supported 4G-LTE (LTE Cat4 150/50 Mbps) on LTE band 1(2100), 3(1800), 5(850), 7(2600), 8(900), 19(800), 20(800), 28(700), 38(2600), 40(2300) which are the most common frequencies used for LTE all over the world but, yet, it could not connect to T-Mobile radio stations in LTE mode.

So I was stuck with EDGE connectivity on 2G network but even this connection was useless most probably due to network congestion. (my supposition as a couple of times, late at night, I managed to refresh Google Maps using that connection)

(I am a techno-geek and I happen to test smartphones/tablets/computers for some magazines/specialized web-sites and, as I had hundreds of them in my hands, I am talking with awareness of facts... :-) )

thank you again for taking your time to read this, Luca
