I'm planning to buy the Iphone 8 64gb model a1905 for my AT&T carrier. But on the description for the phone it says it's for Tmobile only on ebay. I know the A1905 is for all GSM, does this mean the A1905 model phone will work on AT&T even though it's a Tmobile phone? please let me know before I make my purchase and thank you guys for your help.
 
Model A1905 from T-Mobile is the same model as the one sold for use on AT&T. It will work fine on AT&T if it is unlocked. If it is being advertised as only working on T-Mobile it is probably not unlocked and is still being financed through T-Mobile and would not be able to be unlocked until the original owner paid it off with them.

Yes it will. Same bands and modem chips (Intel-based)
