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.

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.

The unlocking and radio flashing do different things. You have to either get an unlock code from Verizon or from a site like www.unlock4moto.com to be able to use a 3rd party SIM card. The radio flash is only necessary to use the phone on AT&T or T-Mobile in the US, but still requires the phone to be unlocked via one of the methods mentioned above.
Just get an unlock code from unlock4moto.com and don't worry about it. But Verizon does do unlock codes if you call tech support and have been in good standing and not had an unlock in the last 10 months.
thanks!

I just bought my friends Verizon Droid 3 XT862 because his contract was up and he switched carriers. It still has the verizon sim card in it. I'm planning on just using it with wifi and not as a phone at all. I want to unlock, root and install a custom ROM. I'm looking at getting the IMEI unlock code mentioned above. What should I do with that sim card? I read something about needing a foreign sim card?
Get any AT&T/T-Mobile SIM and it should unlock as well. It may say it failed if you haven't flashed the 883 build.prop and radio but it will work. If you have a buddy on any GSM service just borrow their SIM.

Thanks MrObvious. So once I unlock it with another SIM, I can just remove that SIM and the "phone" will always work as a "device" just fine without any SIM installed if I don't need cell service/3G?
Do I still need to get the unlock code from a service like cellunlocker.net if I'm using aAT&T or T-Mobile SIM?
3G ISSUE

The you still have to set the proper apns and set it in gsm mode. The the droid 3 does not support LTE at all.

I have an old "Voicestream Wireless" SIM card from back before they changed their name to T-Mobile. I'll try putting that in there and using a code from cellunlocker.net. I should flash 883 build.prop and radio before I enter the code from cellunlocker?
I would unlock with the 862 radio.

It should work fine. One thing you can do is do a Safestrap backup of everything and SBF but I think a Verizon based ROM should do fine.

GSM dev edition, or verizon?? I had 2 GSM dev editions, both worked fine. Check your APN settings, make sure you have the newest ones if you have a newer SIM.
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!

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.

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?

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
