I have the sprint variant of the moto x and I want to know if it can be unlocked to work on other networks here in the us. I bought the phone for 350$ bucks and I'm happy with the phone I'm currently using on sprint, I just want to be able to use it on other carriers.
Mine worked with a tmobile Sim card once you unlock the book loader. I called sprint for the Sim unlock and they said I should be all set. Popped in a Sim card from a T-Mobile iPhone 5 and behold I was surprised it actually worked

How did you get them to unlock the phone for you? I just called and was told that I need to have the phone active for 90 days before they can unlock it which I think is load of bs.

Well I work for sprint do technically they can't stop me lol. But just call again and say your account has been active for X amount of years you are taking a vacation before winter to (make up some place) I would really like to use my sprint device over seas and continue to keep sprint when I come back. If they give you problems ask for the supervisor if that doesn't work there are some reputable sites that you can pay like $5 and get the unlock code

As you enter the unlock code? In other models, just insert another operator, and there is a window to enter the code. If Moto x 1056 this is not possible ...

From what I've a heard is that you can use the Sprint moto x on other US carriers but I've not been able to get my phone unlocked. They keep telling me that I need to have the phone active for 90 days and there is nothing they can do until then.

I got this phone in canada. I want to unlock it for the UMTS bands. is there anyway possible to unlock this device without having to call sprint. When I pop in a gsm sim card. I choose GSM/UMTS, it doesnt prompt me to enter the sim network unlock key like other androids do. is there a dial code perhaps to make the network key entry prompt pop up ? When I do *#06# in GSM mode it gives me a IMEI# and I also noticed when i choose 4G/CDMA and I do *#06# it gives me a MEID #

No man can hack it, what a pity!
Unlocking the phone for use with GSM Sim without Sprint service is not possible as Moto only releases the codes to the specific carrier and Sprint will not give it to you.
If you do get it unlocked, it will not work in the US on a GSM network ie: T-Mobile or ATT. They're hardware restricted from working on local GSM networks p/fca allowances. I have seen a few devices like some black Berry's work locally after being unlocked but they are few and far between.

Yes. I bought my nexus 6 from Moto's website and popped my SIM in and it works perfectly. Don't know what your experience might be if you had to take it to the store to activate.

Your subject line indicates that yours is an AT&T N6. It is carrier locked to AT&T. You will have to get an unlock code, either directly from AT&T or from a third party. Can only be unlocked if you bought it outright, without subsidy. Do a Google search, there are plenty of articles on how to do this.

Yes. But you'll have to get a SIM card from an already activated phone. You won't be able to just walk into a VZW store. The IMEI number won't show up on their list. Go over in General section, there's a thread that explains how this works.

I have N6 on Verizon
When from Retail Rooted Note 3 to N6. They had to dummy a phone on my line that required a nano to get the nano then removed the phone but left thet nano activated. I then popped nano in N6 and good to go. Only downside you CAN NOT use data the same time as making a call. Everything else works great. Extended network, 3G...etc

As far as I know, activation on Sprint should be as easy as getting their Sim card and putting it in. Once the device is freed from the AT&T lock of course.
Read this post and the next few after. Sprint may even have this sorted out by now too.

I just input the given unlock code they gave me and it worked on the 1st time. I do not live in the US, however my local carrier here pretty much uses the same bands as at&t. I've read that users have issue with trying to get it to work on T-Mobile network after updating it to lollipop. Might want to double check your APN settings or maybe there's a bad coverage in your area?

I cannot confirm a fix for that because i do not stay in the United States. Try downloading an app called secret phone info in the playstore. You will be able to switch the network from the default gsm/LTE to wdcma preferred. I found this that I'm able to get better cell reception. Maybe try calling T-Mobile or keep searching in google. If I'm not mistaken theres a slight hardware difference between the T-Mobile (pure edition) and AT&T variant regarding the bands it supports.

If you are not an ATT customer, you select non-ATT Mobility customer when requesting your unlock code.

Believe it or not, lots of people have successfully gotten ATT to unlock their on contract and Next phone simply by requesting it through their online portal. If you are not currently an ATT customer, you select non-ATT Mobility customer.
https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/#/
If the phone was bought on contract and the line is currently under contract, it is YMMV. Same if it is a Next device. But if the phone is not on contract or purchased with a Next plan, they will definitely unlock it for you.
