Will unlocked T-mo S8 work on all carriers?

[CincyGuy]

So I just saw the announcement that Samsung has opened preorders for the unlocked S8. I purchased my S8 from Samsung for T-mo. This got me thinking to 2 years from now when I get my next phone and want to sell the S8. If i get it unlocked by Tmo, will it work on all carriers including Verizon, or did it come with only the antenna bands for Tmo (and AT&T?)??

I think it will work on all GSM carriers. But not CDMA carriers like Verizon and Sprint.

All S8s have the ability to work on all carriers. This is a feature that will be unlocked later In the year.

I'll post it once a relocate it. Saw this in one of those 10 hidden things you didn't know about the S8 videos on YouTube.
