Guys,
I have a question. I am in the market for upgrading my Motorola Photon. Its right timing for Motorola to launch Moto X. I am currently with Sprint but I may switch to Straight Talk soon.
If I buy Off contract Moto X on Sprint, can I use it on Stright Talk?
Thank you.
No.

Why not? Doesn't the Moto X support LTE bands that AT&T and Straight Talk uses? It also has SIM card slot right?
Anybody here who can help?

Not LTE, just HSPA+. It will work fine, just not with LTE.

Are you sure Sprint Moto X will work? I thought sprint locks their Moto X's?
It‘s sim locked

Does anyone know how the sim lock actually works? I have bought new Sprint Moto X recently from ebay. I live in Europe and the phone wasn't activated yet. I can't use any local sim, but what's strange is that I have called to Sprint support and don't have my phone's IMEI in their DB, so I suspect that the lock is just a software lock on the phone itself. Is there any chance that the lock can be bypassed by flashing a different ROM?
Any update on this? Thank you
Essentially the title. I'm looking at potentially doing Straight Talk with the Moto X, and I'm wondering if it would be better to go with the ATT version, or with an unlocked edition such as TMo or the GSM Dev edition. My understanding is that the ATT one would need to be unlocked first, but are there any other differences I should be aware of?
Also, can someone outline the process of setting up the phone for Straight Talk?

Using AT&T MotoX currently with Straight Talk AT&T. I would have preferred T-Mo's version so I could unlock the bootloader. But they both work in AT&T Straight talk (friend has the unlocked T-Mo version and it works on his). I can't say for sure if AT&T MotoX works with Straight Talk T-Mo LTE, but it should at least get their HSPA signals.

That's good to know.
Is there any extra steps involved in using the ATT phone vs the T-Mo phone with (ATT) Straight Talk? I've heard it has to be unlocked first which either requires $30 or rooting the phone.

If you get the ATT Moto X, you have to use the ATT straight talk unless you unlock the phone to use Tmobiles towers. That's how I understand it.
I just activated my Moto X on ATT straight talk 2 weeks ago. No issues so far and I get 4g LTE service in my city.

Do OTA updates come normally on Straight Talk? As in, through ATT's network (if you're on ATT ST)

They do. I have the tmo X running off of straight talks att Sim card. It picked up the 4.4 ota within 5 minutes of being on the network.
For op. I'd recommend the T-Mobile version just for the fact that it's factory unlocked. You don't have to worry whose towers you're using on straight talk since you're able to pick up LTE on with one as long as there's signal.
Second reason, you don't have all the carrier bloat and crap. I personally think it looks cleaner without the at&t apps.

Straight Talk says they don't supply the nano sim needed for the Moto X. What do you guys recommend doing if I want to go with Straight talk. I have the TM version of the X.

I bought a cutter from amazon. It was $13, but it made a perfect cut. If you're going to use scissors, I'd recommend downloading a template and that you have steady hands.

You can go with any simcard you want. Mine was one of the original regular Sims from when they started the byod almost two years ago

I'm thinking of picking up a Moto X from Fido to use on my existing Bell account. I have an inkling of what's involved:
1) unlock Moto X from 3rd party service (but does the phone need to have a Fido SIM or my Bell SIM installed first)?
2) use phone as normal (or are there any special settings I need to do first)?
Any other issues?
I got the phone. Bought a nano sim from telus. Went home, bought a sim unlock code. Got the code in a few hours, put in the telus sim....entered the code when prompted.....then went to telus site and activated the sim. Done.
Its on bell now too, since I gave it to my wife.

That's great, does it work on LTE as well?
Yup...on telus and bell.

Picked one up from Fido with their recent price reduction... bought it outright without having to sign up for anything.
Works great on Bell!

Hello
I want to buy verizon moto x 2014 in usa and use it in europe. Does it sim locked? Is there needed any manipulation to switch career from Verizon to another?
Thanks
I'm pretty sure the Verizon one is SIM locked. They might sell you an unlocked one, or let you unlock early. You are better off getting a European model motomaker phone.

Actually the Verizon Moto X is unlocked out of the box, as are all Verizon 4G LTE phones. I have bought at least 4 or 5 and used them on T-Mobile just to test. Even the iPhones are. One slight perk in the tyranny of Verizon

Currently have an unlocked MotoG, have MotoX coming soon. On the TMobile $30 prepaid plan if it matters.
Is it simply a matter of moving the sim to the X and it will work automatically or do I have to call and go through some shenanigans with TMobile?
Curious, may want to use the G for work then the X for home life.

If by any chance you forget, the G uses Micro-SIM while the X requires Nano-SIM.

Well it will work if you cut it down. But I'd advise against it, cause I did that and now the sim is stuck since the tray won't eject.
I got mine out via two safety pins, one to put in the hole and one to pry it open.
