A1905 does not support CDMA. At least in the US, that definitely isn't the SIM-Free version.
[doublepost=1506207242][/doublepost]Thanks, can someone who actually has the phone please comment on USA Sim Free version
My Sim-Free iPhone 8 Plus was bought from an Apple Store in Michigan (USA). The model is A1864.

Maybe this isn’t what you’re looking for, but if you google sim-free iPhone 8, the Apple website will come up and show you what models (including the S-F) pertain to which bands and carriers. I looked earlier myself.
A1863 here, confirmed. That's the Qualcomm modem version w/ CDMA, the version you want.
Thank you, I just ordered and want to make sure I get the correct model when its delivered.

A1905 is gsm only.
A1864 is the verizon/Sprint/China/gsm universal version. I asked this same question during preorder. It's the sim free version apple sales.

The A1863 is the SIM-Free 8. The A1864 is the SIM-Free 8+.
The 4.7 inch A1905 is gsm only
The 5.5 inch A1897 is gsm only
The 4.7 inchA1863 is cdma/gsm (sim free)
The 5.5 inch A1864 is cdma/gsm (sim free)
Yes. Apple doesn't do a good job since the gsm only model have Intel chips while the cdma/gsm model have Qualcomm chips
To make it worst. People like me annoyed with 2016 iphone 7 launch who paid full price and they didn't sell a sim free version for 3_4 weeks and they would sell me the Verizon version of the iPhone 7 plus since I was att customer even when paying full price.
