I have this phone called Vega Iron 2(IM-910S)
(http://www.devicespecifications.com/en/model/9fed2b69)

And I would like to use this phone in the US.
But I was once told that I won't be able to access LTE on any of the carriers since they have
different LTE frequency band. So the question is will my phone be able to access
LTE broadband in the United States?
 
If I'm reading those specifications correctly, it looks like two of the 3 versions of that phone support LTE Band 5 (850 MHz). According to Wikipedia there is one US network, US Cellular, which uses that band in some parts of its coverage. So if you have the correct version of the Vega Iron 2, and if you are visiting one of those places, there is a chance. If you have the other model, or if you are visiting a different part of the States (i.e. most of the country) then it will not.

I suggest checking your phone's manual to see whether it supports that band, then checking USC's website to see where they have band 5 cover if it has.
