Does Motorola provide a SIM card. Correct me if I'm wrong, But doesn't the X use a Nano sim and my current phone uses a micro. Just wanted to know if I'll need to bring it to a store or if they provide one. Thanks!

Yes. My ATT X came with the nano sim preinstalled from Motorola.

I just put my info in through the Motomaker site, built the phone, selected AT&T as carrier and (in my case) chose existing customer and upgrading a line, etc. The only call I had to make was when I received the phone to activate it with ATT, for some reason it wouldn't recognize the upgrade through the web activation method. Sim was already installed and phone was charged, took no more than 5-10 minutes from unboxing to being online.

Oh ok, I chose att as my carrier as well, but I did the $150 off no contract method. I'll probably just need to enter imei and Sim.

I use unlocked D3 but this device is 512MB ram also there is no official ICS(no flash reader, no camcorder). If I can use D4 on gsm network, I'll upgrade!
from my DROID3 using xda app-developers app
Yes you can, but currently only with the leaked ICS firmwares. The stock gingerbread firmware does not allow it. Supposedly the official ICS firmware is due in Q3 2012
I made a thread here with instructions on how to do it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766479
Will this work if the droid 4 has a bad ESN?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Should be, the esn is usually used to activate cdma, for gsm you only have to activate a sim card and put it in...

Just take one w/o contract - and that should be enough. No unlock codes was required for me.

Almost the answer I was looking for.
So could someone confirm this:
Bad esn doesn't affect calling via a SIMcard?
I know it's a very old thread, but worth trying..
ESN's and IMEI numbers are used for GSM phones(AT&T, T-Mobile and now Verizon also). MEID numbers are used with CDMA phones(Verizon,Sprint) and just because the phone has ics or jb doesn't mean it's unlocked. You still have to install a different sim card and put in an unlock code which you can get from Verizon if you are with them or pay for it online somewhere. Once the new sim card is installed into phone and the unlock code is entered, the phone will state that your device has been unlocked. Unlocking phones is mainly for overseas use outside of the US. I have much experience with this as I served in the U.S. military for 10 years and I took my old phone over with me. Upon arrival in the new country, you set up cell service with a GSM provider, install their sim card and viola! Hope I could clear this up for you guys! Not trying to sound mean, just informative.
EDIT: Bad ESN's or MEID's can be a bad thing but some can be changed or flashed over with new one's from third party service providers like PagePlus Cellular, etc.

I have a gnex with unlimited data, and just bought a Dev edition and I want to keep my unlimited data. So if I use verizons website and go to activate or switch device, will I be able to keep my unlimited data?
I just don't want to f*ck up when I use the website
Has anyone used the website to do this, and did it work?

If you're just switching devices you should be able to do it without losing your data plan. I did it many times when I was using VZW. However, you shouldn't need the web site if your phones are LTE. Just move the SIM to the new phone.

GNex uses Micro Sim while Moto X uses nano, so OP needs to cut the micro Sim or go get a nano Sim.
Sent from my XT1060 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
When i ordered the phone it said sim card included
I don't want to cut the card in case the Moto x ever breaks or whatever, so I can have a backup phone
So I guess I'll give the website a try

Website works fine, or just go into Verizon and tell them you want to change your phone. Did it at a store when I purchased my old Gnex off someone.
I switched mine on the Verizon website in about 2 minutes. You will need to use the SIM tool so you can pop your new nano-SIM out of your phone and read the number off it.
Unlimited data stays.
I have a unlocked moto x from att to use on Tmobile I have tried a bunch of apns none seem to work the Sim picks up my phone number but I don't get any service I really need help as I haven't had service for three days and don't know what texts/calls I'm missing.

Well, first, I would suspect a sim problem. You don't even need an APN for calls and text to work - they work immediately if your sim is valid, recognized, and activated.
APNs are only required to get data working.
You should check that your sim is inserted correctly and look in settings > about phone > status. Make sure your sim ID is listed under ICCID. If it isn't, your sim isn't being recognized. Aside from that, contact your carrier and make sure your account is active and the appropriate sim is on your account.
EDIT: Also, remember that all AT&T Moto X variants are SIM-LOCKED. You cannot use a non-AT&T sim in them without unlocking them first!
If you haven't unlocked the phone, it will never work on T-Mobile. You can purchase an unlock code from one of the many online gsm-unlock code sellers.
I don't get that option

All AT&T Moto X's should have ICCID listed in Settings > About Phone > Status
It's near the bottom.
Anyways, did you read the bottom edit to my post? Your problem is almost definitely that your phone is SIM-LOCKED to AT&T. All AT&T Moto X's come sim-locked. You can't use them on another carrier until you unlock them.....
I was told by a retail store it was unlocked

Sorry bud, If you are sure your phone is unlocked, and you don't get prompted for an unlock code in the UICC unlock menu, all I can suggest is to contact your carrier. I don't have any more ideas for you. Maybe another member will.

Just ask them if they can waive the fee. This has always worked for me!

Do you think it'll work if I'm a prepaid customer?
Sent from my SHV-E120S using Tapatalk 2
Ahh if its prepaid you'll probably have to call the prepaid customer service and have them send you one. They'll do it for free too though! Or charge 1$. I've been on both ends of tmo before and never had to pay for a Sim!
wait until it's FREE, or a penny, maybe 99cents.
Or
you can tell them your sim stopped working, they can replace it for free.
I need to get one too, I should've bought one last month when it was 99cents.
But for now, i can just cut my microSim to nano size.
Or you can wait till you get the phone and (that come with the a sim card) take it to t-mobile and have them activate it.
Can/will they do that for a prepaid account?

It should come with one. Buy I have never had to pay for one before. Even had one shipped to me when my phone was stolen and T-Mobile was an hr and a half away. No charge. But I have been with them over 12 years. In a valued customer.

Hey guys i had to gwt my hands onecone. Im a verizon customer and i couldnt wait tovget lucky for an unlocked one . Is it possible for me to get this thing to work . i dont have a nano yet. Trying to get a friend of mine from a verizon store to help me out there. If thays the case, will the nano sim card work for me or no ? Im on wifi and i love this thing !!!!!
You need to unlock the phone. It is SIM-locked to AT&T
To get it unlocked through at&t I need an account number and all that. I'm a Verizon customer so I don't have that information. I just bought the phone retail at an att. I heard you can unlock through 3rd party. Are there any recommended sites?

If you're a Vzw customer, get a Vzw nano Sim.
I'm battling the same thing. I'm a Verizon customer and bought the phone outright through AT&T on a friends account. Went to cellunlocker.net and waiting for them to go through another database for an unlock code
Just got word from art that December 4 they will loosen the requirements to getting it unlocked for free. Which may help us
