Stupid question, but will a Verizon iPhone 8 Plus from an Apple Store work on T-Mobile without any issue?

If getting from the Apple Store, why not just buy the SIM-free version?

Buy the Verizon model at Best Buy and other retailers.

Buy the unlocked iPhone. I use the Straight Talk $45. Plan - unlimited talk and text and 10 GB HI speed data. The sim package comes with 3 SIM cards so you can choose which card. Have used for 5 yrs. I’m done with contracts.

Yes, though does it support the fastest LTE T-Mobile has? (non-600Mhz band). I thought it only was 4G... at least with the older phones.

My 6s I have now (waiting for delivery of my 8*) shows LTE when not on WiFi. T-mobile is one of the SIM cards that comes in the Straight Talk kit. Works fine for me.
