I am looking to get my mom a smartphone for her birthday and I've decided to get the Moto G (2nd Gen) and I saw on Amazon that the US GSM version will take 4-7 Weeks to ship while the Global GSM Version will take 2 days with prime. I was wondering what the difference between the two are and if with the Global GSM version she will still be able to use her ATT plan and make calls and text like normal. All help will be greatly appreciated!

Buy the global GSM it is optimized for getting 3g data when in roaming while the US GSM will give you 3g when you are inside USA. You might not get 3g while on roaming on US GSM.
ATT sim works perfectly on Global GSM and you will also get 3g outside us.
These are the bands which are supported by either versions.
Global GSM Model:
GSM/GPRS/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)
UMTS/HSPA+ up to 21 Mbps (850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz)
US GSM Model:
GSM/GPRS/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)
UMTS/HSPA+ up to 21 Mbps (850, 1700 (AWS), 1900 MHz)
The only problem will occurs when using T-mobile on Global GSM.
