Your phone will only partially work on AT&T since only the 3G(1900MHZ) band is the only frequency compatible for North America. 2G on AT&T has been terminated early this year. While T-mobile has 1900MHZ for 2G and 3G but no LTE on any frequency. (AT&T uses LTE bands2,4,5,12,17,29,30 While T-Mobile uses LTE bands 2,4,12) None of the LTE bands are compatible with your device. Since your device lacks the 850 MHZ on 3G, You will not get full coverage on AT&T. My advice, If you need to get a SIM in advance, search sites like Ebay for T-mobile sims. Once you have recieved to go to t-mobile.com to activate the sim. NOTICE: Most US SIM cards do not have a plan by itself. So you pick on one of the plans you need and activate it. Simply follow the the instructions on the site. Pick the area code you want, enter you email, sim card number, and anything else and once you have completed your form you phone number should be assigned to you automatically to your email or SIM. At this point you cannot use any services until you add credit to your account. I recommend you buy refill cards from any supermarket, drug stores,chain-stores,or convienence stores to avoid complications from refilling your card online. To refill just follow the instructions on the card. Hope this helps and have a wonderful trip here!
