The phone itself is excellent, and I wish I could keep it. but all US carriers I tried lock out the phone at least partially (TMobile, Google Fi) if not completely (AT&T). If you're fine without 5G reception, TMobile could still work for you - LTE, calls, texts, even wifi calling all worked fine. I would have kept the phone if I had any service at my apartment except for 5G - but I was buying to get 5G service. AT&T didn't work at all - no calls or texts.
This is not the seller's or the phone's fault, but be aware that "GSM unlocked" still doesn't guarantee full compatibility, not like it used to. Carriers have device whitelists for certain features or their entire network, and without a US-specific model of the 5V, I doubt it will ever be added.
