[Q] Unlock Sprint version to use with any GSM network in and out of the US?

I keep searching, but can't find anything. Is there a site that I can buy the code from or is it even GSM capable in the country?

I just called and spoke to the International services people. They waived the 90-day requirement for me, and unlocked the phone. Haven't tested it yet, though.

HI dev ,
i am from Nagpur, did you got any solution for Sprint MOTO X ? pl help me if you have any solution. i bought two phones from eBay.
Thanks.
Sorry.. as far as I know .. no solutions yet .
sent from the ONE !!!
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.

I have the same question as OP. I am about to order a MotoX and will be traveling in 1 month.
Who is RipCo?
For Motorola are more services available,there is a cheaper service that does not work for all phones,but tere is a service for not found phones ,which even if is a bit more expensive ( around 12$) should unlcok your phone

Let me see if I understood correctly, you bought your Moto X from motorola's website (in the Design Yours section), customized your phone and at the end you choosed Carrier -> ATT -> No Contract (that's 499$) and you got it to work in your country?

So you just called them and asked them for the code, didn't you?
What exactly did you say? I'm in the same situation and I'm about to give them a call, so I have to be prepared
Thanks a lot!
Just got myself an AT&T Moto X. I am in India right now and dont see any option to e-mail the guys at AT&T. For some reason they want me to register. Can anyone help me out with this? I need to SIM unlock the phone. How do I reach AT&T via e-mail?
This is the AT&T International (+1 916 843 4685) phone number.Can call that 1-2 times if you can and try to convince you to give you a code,but lately seems they do not give codes unless you have or had a contract with them and use the form from their website to request for it. If that is not working can just buy an unlock code should be around 12$
Anyone have a phone with imei starting 3532 that has had problems unlocking?

[Q] Unlocking AT&T Moto X

Hi there!
I'm having hard days trying to unlock my Moto X by AT&T. I've got the phone almost a month ago and the problem is that I can't get the unlock code from any service, they just can't find it.
I made a few calls to AT&T and as I understood operators can't give unlock codes anymore. They asked me to go to att.com/deviceunlock to fill the unlock request form.
The form includes field called "Wireless number" and since I live in Russia I cannot provide any US number.
Is there a kind person who could get the code for me, filling the form with his wireless number (I can pay for that)?
Or maybe anyone knows another way to unlock the device?
Thanks a lot!

I work in cell phone repairs and get asked quite a lot about this. It used to be that the lock was on the phone but now it's on the carriers server so it's pretty hard to bypass.
