Does the 16GB US GSM work on T-Mobile 3G/4G in the US?

I want to ask for the Moto G for Christmas but want to know if the phone will work with T-Mobile. I've been looking around at forums, some people are saying it will work on T-Mobile 3G and 4G(I know not LTE) and some are saying not. My other option is to go to Aio Wireless which runs of off At&t, but T-Mobile around my area is really good and I could get the $30plan. I'm so confused I've never had an android and have a Blackberry right now -.-, someone please explain...

Yes. It's a US GSM so it works. The global GSM does NOT work on T-Mob. No LTE but T-Mob 4g can handle Youtube so LTE's not a big deal. You want this phone. It's like a Nexus 4 with a 3.4 kernel. Just a note this question belongs in the Q&A section of the phone.

Are you sure? I'm not doubting you, just want to be 100% before I get it, and sorry I'm new to forums and here and didn't realize where I was posting

The Moto G will work on either T-Mobile or AIO Wireless. Keep in mind that the G does not support LTE/4G, although it does support HSPA+ 21 mbps. Honestly, if you're getting 21 mbps service, unless you're trying to stream videos regularly or use your phone to share an internet connection at home, it'll be more than fast enough.

The only caveat of TMobile service compared to AIO is that TMobile only provides 10 mb. of data service when you roam off-network; AIO does not have a roaming data cap. For this reason, I'm prioritizing AIO over TMobile, and strongly considering picking up a G myself.

Yeah Aio sounds good, but $30 a month - 100mins, unlimited text, and 5gbs of internet is too enticing on T-Mobile. I barely talk on the phone, just mainly text, plus the sim cards from T-mobile are free right now, so I guess T-mobile it is for me, and if that doesn't go well Aio is defiantly my second choice.
