USA (AT&T and probably unlocked version) and Canada will work on AWS and 700 MHz frequency only which means the wont work in Kuwait! but (Verizon and Sprint) version in the other hand will work on Kuwait network because the cover 5 bands of frequencies.

Note: To clear stuff up, the issue is wether the 4G (LTE) network would work or not, but all the unlock phones will work on 3G and HSDPA+ networks.
