Ok, I'm on AT&T and I'm gonna pick up a couple iphone 6's soon. In gonna pay full price and not NEXT.

My question is whether there is an advantage to get the Verizon model vs the ATT one?
 
What does this mean? Will I not be able to pay full price for an ATT model?

Of course you can. The only advantage to getting the Verizon model would be the ability to use it on Verizon if you ever wanted to switch. It might also have slightly greater resale value if you were to sell it someday.

OK, does the VZ model have all of the bands to work on an AT&T network? Also, what about international bands? I may have to travel to India and Singapore in the near future.

Thanks.

Yes, it has all the same bands to work on AT&T or T-Mobile. Not sure what bands they use in India and Singapore, so you'd have to research that. But the Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile models are exactly the same. The only difference is the Verizon model is the only one that can be used on Verizon's network.
 
If you want the most bands possible get the Sprint version. Whether those extra four bands are used by anyone other than Sprint I couldn't tell you, but it does have more bands.
