Hi

I'm a UK Vodafone customer and considering upgrading to the 5s. I understand from http://www.apple.com/iphone/LTE/ that I will therefore receive the A1457 model.

My question is

1) Whether this model will work when I visit the USA using my UK Vodafone SIM?

I see from that link that this model won't be offered in the US. Does this mean that I'll revert to 3G when visiting the US?

2) Sometimes in the US I use an AT&T SIM card. I'm guessing it won't work on their LTE network, but will the AT&T SIM work in this phone as a 3G SIM card?

Thanks
Paul

Also, linked to Q2, do any other US operators use the bands that this phone can connect to?

1 (2100 MHz)
2 (1900 MHz)
3 (1800 MHz)
5 (850 MHz)
7 (2600 MHz)
8 (900 MHz)
20 (800 DD)
