Sprint moto x to tmobile? - Moto X Q&A

Please forgive me if this has been asked before!
I am really wanting to buy the sprint moto x but I'm looking to leave sprint in a few months. I was wondering if I can take the moto x with me to tmobile (I know you can with the nexus 5 but I don't want that)?
Does the moto x for sprint uses a sim card for sprint now like the others?

In short, no you cant
It doesn't have the LTE bands for T-Mobile, and the GSM frequencies are disabled by firmware and the SIM lock (LTE is SIM based, but it only works on Sprint's band 25 network).

Ok... So you're thinking about buying an unlocked phone that was originally a Verizon phone but was used on T-Mobile that you want to use on AT&T? That is a bit convoluted, each vendor uses different bits of spectrum and a Verizon phone isn't a pure GSM phone such as AT&T or T-Mobile might have, I would be cautious, why not just get an unlocked AT&T device?
That being said, if it can be used on a GSM network like T-Mobile it should work on AT&T, the problem being that - as I said - each carrier uses different bits of the spectrum.
Save yourself the potential hassle and buy the proper AT&T model.
Yeah i am being cautious I'm passing on it thanks for the responses

[Q] Can a Verizon Moto X work on the T-Mobile network?

I have a Moto X that I purchased from Best Buy. I have Verizon. the Moto X is not activated. Can the same Moto X I have be activated on a T-Mobile account, can a TMO customer use it?
The short answer is yes. There may be some LTE issues depending on what version of Android is on the device.
There are few threads in the Droid Ultra section on this.

The Motorola site for the respective developer editions says Verizon version support LTE 750Mhz (B13) whereas the T-Mobile version supports LTE 700/AWS/1900MHz (B17/B4/B2). Doesn't seem like the VZW version will support T-Mobile LTE.

If your network is GSM, you can use GSM Developer Edition

[Q] Moto X Pure Edition on Cricket w/ LTE?

I've seen similar posts to this, but none with any kind of solid answer so far. I have a chance to get a XT1095 for pretty cheap tomorrow and would like a clear answer to the question of it not only working on Cricket and also get LTE? If not will it work on HSPA? Thx in advance, I'm kind of confused by all this and would love to hear from somebody that has or had this particular model on Cricket. I'm coming from a Nexus 5 which was just plug n play with my Cricket SIM so that's what has me a bit lost here.
You shouldn't have any problems with it. I see they have a GSM sim. As long as that's the one you have you should get LTE.

Yeah the guy had it on T-Mobile so its definitely GSM compatible. I'm mostly just wondering about getting the LTE/data to work. I saw an article online that said the XT1095 had less bands than the other variants. Either way thanks for replying so quickly!
I also read though that Motorola was planning on adding the missing bands via update but can't find if that update was already pushed or not.
The band issue was with kit kat it has been updated with 5.0 and 5.1. You should get LTE and if you don't it will probably be because you have to set up the APN yourself which is easy.

Now that's exactly what I was wanting to know, TY! I'm very familiar with how to change APN's so it looks like I'm good to go!
I'm using my XT 1095 on cricket and I'm very pleased. It is LTE compatible but be advised to use the APN settings on cricket website. As long as you are aware of crickets speed limitations, you will be pleased.
