Hello all,

I've read through this page of the wiki and several others, and after reading some of the comments this seems a good place to post my own question:

I have an iPhone 5 (A1429) that I purchased in South Korea and used on KT for 2 years. I've successfully used it on EE's network in the UK and I'm now looking for a compatible US provider. I used the IMEI lookup on Verizon and received a negative reply; I assume that confirms my phone as a GSM (some of the tables were confusing) which also nixes me for Sprint. That leaves T-Mobile and AT&T, as I've no real desire to work through a MNVO. It looks like I can use it on either provider's network, but will NOT be able to use LTE on either of them because they use the wrong bands. Is this correct? If it is it's just a matter of comparing plans to get the best bang for my buck.

Thank you for an excellent wiki and TIA for any replies this generates. Also, if anyone has any recommendations on which plan to use/avoid, let me know. I'll be moving around mostly the Western US, using data far more than text or talk, and tethering.
