Hey,
I have the iPhone 5 A1429 GSM model and i am moving to the US in 2 weeks.
I was wondering if my phone will support LTE in the states or if LTE is only available with the CDMA model.
Hope somebody can help out! Thanks 🙂
iPhone 5, iOS 6

The A1429 GSM model will not work with AT&T's or T-Mobile's LTE network in the U.S., but it should work with their 3G network.

Thank you!
According to the overview none of the US networks support LTE for the A1429 GSM model. Is this true or is there any possibility to switch to CDMA mode in order to use it with Sprint or Verizon?
You're welcome
The link provided answers the question. You can't switch an iPhone activated with a GSM carrier to a CDMA carrier.
If having LTE network access is a must have, sell the existing iPhone and use the proceeds to purchase an iPhone in the U.S. with ATT and Verizon having the largest LTE network. T-Mobile here just started rolling out their LTE network.
a1429 is designed mostly for europe
Does the iPhone 5 (A1429 GSM) support LTE in USA?
