Moto X from the first sale arrived today... 32GB T-Mobile (not developer version). Right now we are on Verizon so don't have an alternate SIM card to pop-in and test and it's not currently connected to any mobile plan. #06# doesn't work at all. In the "About Phone" in settings I can see the 15 digit IMEI. A quick check on aio wireless showed it would work only with the 3G even though they do offer 4G LTE. A chat with their support staff indicated it was locked SIM to T-Mobile. Going to www.cellunlocker.net and putting in the info brought up that it was locked to T-Mobile.
Bummer... did we just get unlucky, or are others finding it locked as well?
I bought a T-Mobile one. Got it on Tuesday and popped my AT&T sim card in and voilá. It works. No sim unlock required.

If it worked at all instead of requesting you enter a code then it isn't locked.
Did you ever determine if the device did work on Aio?

I purchased a AT&T Moto X during the recent sale from Motorola for using it on straight talk. I assumed ATT version will work on ST as it is an MVNO of ATT.
I cut down a Straight talk micro sim card into a nano sim card and inserted it into Moto X. It never prompted me for an unlock code. I ported my number from ATT gophone to ST and they (ST) say it is active and provisioned as per their system. But I cannot make any calls and it is not connected to any network. It says HOME at the left corner. When I installed a SIM detector app from google play thru Wifi, it detects the SIM number and the other data. I spent lot of time talking to ST (they say the SIM is active and provisioned as per their system) and Motorola (they say since it is locked to AT&T, it is not working on ST). I tried to get AT&T to unlock it but they will not.
I cut down a AT&T go phone microsim into a nano sim card and activated it under AT&T go phone with a new number , it works. But I want to use it on ST.
1). Is my phone being locked to AT&T, the reason it is not working on ST. If so, if I purchase an unlock code online, it should work. But I never got any unlock code prompt at any time when I put in the ST sim card several times.
2). My ST sim card may not be LTE (I am not sure if it is lte or not. I had it with my previous ST account phone). Could it be the reason?
I appreciate any help/suggestions.
Before you stick the ST card in there, clean it first. Try it again in a few hours. Mine didn't work either the first night

1. You do not need an unlocked phone to use a ST sim running on the AT&T network. If you are using a t-mobile sim, you will need the phone unlocked. What are the first 5 digits on the sim card? I think AT&T is 89014.
2. I would buy a new ST sim card and cut it out again. That way you know you have the LTE version. Buy it NOW so you get the free Next Day shipping. It expires tomorrow.
Unless you plan on using LTE in Canada or South America, you should have bought the Unlocked GSM Moto X. They are/were the same price, but come unlocked and without bloatware from AT&T.

It starts with 89014 plus 15 digits.
I should have brought the Tmobile version which is unlocked but thought AT&T version may be less problematic with ST which is an MVNO of AT&T. I did order a new ST micro sim card today
Hi,
I have recently bought a MotoX Sprint XT1056 not developer ed. I have unlocked the phone using this guide from on youtube watch?v=sw675ipX-ds
It is unlocked now and I can detect the network operators available but cant register to any. There is a red triangle with a white + on the celular signal icon. The sim I am using was tested on an iPhone 5 and works, using an micro sim adaptor it works on my S4. The sim is cut, however using a proper nano sim it still says sim error.
I would really like to use the MotoX I think it is a really solid phone and feels good at hand, what could the issue be??
You have unlocked bootloader of your phone, that does nothing with sim lock. Sprint devices are locked so you should contact them before you can use them in other networks
I have looked around the forum and other sites. Is sprint moto x a gsm phone or cdma? Because I can detect gsm networks. But cellunlocker says my phone is not gsm. Anyone can confirm it?

Sprint and Verizon use CDMA on their networks for Voice and 3G data, however they include GSM bands for "global roaming capabilities" and also support LTE.
Sprint ships their phones with the GSM side sim locked. Verizon's X is shipped Sim UNLOCKED. (this is separate from locked/unlocked bootloader).
There are a few threads I've seen about people trying to use Sprint Moto X with the SIM of a GSM carrier and running into difficulties due to the SIM Lock. I haven't seen any "this is how I sim unlocked my Sprint Moto X and got it working on a GSM carrier" type posts. I've seen a few suggestions of "call sprint to try and unlock." This might work, but it might not. Some carriers have rules around sim unlocking... (must be current customer, billing must be current, have to be customer for xxx days, etc).
How to get the unlock window to pop out? Inserting a foreign sim doesnt seem to make it work.

Well would Verizon blacklist or whitelist the I.d. number? My sis Wil buy it then activate it then just give me the phone.
Just worried about Verizon blocking it later on
A T-Mobile sold N6 will most likely not be able to work on VZW. See this thread for more details: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/cdma-carriers-buying-nexus-6-consider-t2922642
The only sure way it will work is if you already have a nano-SIM. If you currently do not have a nano-SIM, and plan on getting once you get the T-Mobile N6, that is what no one has tested yet.
But droid-life already did the test, the T-Mobile N6 worked with a Verizon nano-SIM just fine.
Best way to do this:
1. Call Verizon and order a nano-SIM over the phone. If they ask for what device, say you just ordered a Droid Turbo from eBay.
2. Upon receiving the SIM and the N6, go to verizonwireless and login. Click on 'activate a device', choose 'device that has never been on verizon', enter your current phones IMEI (not the N6), then the SIM ID off the nano-SIM you just received.. The SIM will now be active, and your current SIM in your phone will deactivate.
3. Insert the nano-SIM into the N6, and you will have a working device.
Can anyone else confirm this? I have a t mobile account and I'm planning on buying it on my line most likely ordering it because they don't have it in store and then giving it to my cousin on his verizon account.

It has been confirmed in a different thread already. The guy got the phone yesterday from T-Mobile. And it worked on his Verizon account, he is currently using it on Verizon, it has LTE and 3g and all that stuff, just like a Verizon phone would. He also tried his friends ATT SIM, and the phone worked as would a ATT phone. Its in a thread in the general section somewhere, good luck finding it.

I purchased my nexus 6 from a T-Mobile retail store and later read somewhere that T-Mobile nexus 6's come out of box network unlocked from T-Mobile. I ran a Sim card manager and its saying I'm network locked????? Here's a screen shot of what the Sim manager said.
Any truth to this ??

Mine is unlocked, I did pay my phone off before trying other carrier sim cards, which worked fine, I only tried VZW & AT&T.

OK so I can go get a att nano Sim slap it in there and it should work?? Or are there other steps I need to take.? I'm sorry I've have never swapped out or had a unlocked device. So if you could please explain what I need to do to get att working on my tmo n6.. I just want to be able to use my phone when I go to my farm out in the country. There isn't any tmo coverage out there but att does have service. I thought it would roam on att out there but it don't. I called customer care and they said att towers out there are not able to roam to my n6 for what ever reason. She said they probably will though in the near future.

Pop in the SIM and that's it. Literally. The APNs should populate on their own by inserting the SIM.
The Nexus 6 is fully unlocked. FULLY! Works on all US carriers.

I purchased a T-Mobile Nexus 6 on craigslist for use on Verizon. The phone was not carrier locked when I bought it and the seller assured me he didn't believe the phone to be locked. I do not believe your phone is SIM locked as I just ran the same program on my Nexus 6 and it says the same thing. I believe AT&T's variant is the only one with locked SIM.

Yeah, so the Sim is locked, but the phone isn't.
Used Cricket which is Att MNVO can confirm that T-Mobile bought Nexus 6 is in fact unlocked.
That being said unless Att is the only coverage you get don't go to Cricket. Ran right back to T-Mobile in less than a billing cycle.

Nexus bootloaders are always unlockable, network simlocks are possible afaik if you buy a subsidized phone.

So what your saying is since I'm still paying for my n6 through T-Mobile post pay plan that this is why my sim is network locked??? I usually just pay for half the price of the phone and jump to an upgraded phone. See this is what's confusing the heck out of me.. So once again am I going to be able to just put a activated att Sim card in my n6 and I'll be good to go.??? Orrr do I have to pay off the phone? Or do I need to get a unlock code from T-Mobile?? So confused??.the app I used Sim card manager said my Sim card is network locked do I need to unlock or do I just through a active att Sim in and go.? Thanks

I`am speaking for the European situation as it is here, i`am not familiar with the US policy`s tbh. Just put in a non T-Mobile simcard and if you are connected to data and speech there is no problem.
I have the same case as you. I tested with and AT&T Sim and works perfectly. The SIM is locked, the Phone is not.

I'm on Tmobile now but going to Verizon soon but would like to buy a Tmobile g6 and unlock it. So what the title says, I know service will work but will I get lte through Verizon on my Tmobile phone. I used Tmobile in Verizon phones no problem and got lte before.
It depends on what radios the Tmobile G6 supports. I believe it has a sim card slot for the smaller sim cards verizon uses. I would google tmobile g6 radio and verizon radio bands and compare.
Also if I am not mistaken you will have to unlock the phone in order for it to accept another carrier. I believe if you buy the phone outright, tmobile will send you instructions for unlocking it.
Ok. I'm ordering the factory u locked g6 with dual sim. Hopefully it fully support cdma
I would also be interested in knowing if it would work or not.

T-Mobile generally requires a device be on their service for 40 days before unlocking it. Something to keep in mind.
Sent from my LG-H872 using Tapatalk
once unlocked you should be able to use LTE, but only for data. Most likely it will NOT support VoLTE (HD voice ) and VoWiFi.
I bought a used tmobile lg g6, used the unlock app to permanently unlock, but can't get it to work on verizon network. I inserted my verizon sim card but just tells me network is unavailable
Verizon refused to accept the imei for my t mobile G6. So I refused to remain a Verizon customer.
