Hi friends.
I have got into the Motorola Page for buying the New Moto X in free version with no contract, Pure Edition, but I am not sure if it is a model which will work well in South America, I mean, I want it for using it in Perú. I am not sure, that is why am asking you. Because it says works with At&T, verizon and 4G and global .......
Give me some help please!.
Thnx!
Yes it will work. I am not sure what LTE support there is in Peru, and what bands are used, but it will be fine with GSM/3G support. If you are concerned about the 4G, you will have to research what LTE bands are supported on your carrier.
What LTE bands does the no contract Pure Edition support, they are not listed in the specs?

Hi
I have ordered Moto x through my friend in US and i am planning to use in India with GSM network
I have confirmed with Motorola help desk and they confirmed saying it will work with International GSM providers.
Is anyone using it now, buying non contract 399$ phone and using it in India or outside US?
Me along with many other forumers that post around here. Using mines all good in The Bahamas. You will be fine.

It's all about the frequencies that your country/carrier use.
Isn't it a little late to ask this question now when you already have bought the phone?
There are many different Moto X models. Not all can be used internationally. In addition you might need to buy SIM unlock code
Thanks a lot for your replies
I have purchased the unlocked one only
Anyone using in India?
Get the T-Mobile version, it supports the most frequencies, and it's carrier unlocked. That's your best bet.
If you want to make sure, here are the MotoX variants, you can compare the bands they use to your carriers used bands.

Actually the AT&T version supports the most LTE Bands. Though it's downfall is its carrier locked and comes with AT&T bloat and branding on the back. But unlock codes can be purchased for it though.

Just to clarify, the unlocked Moto X on their site has full support for all AT&T LTE bands? Can't seem to find full confirmation of this...

The unlocked version on Moto 's website is the T Mobile GSM Unlocked variant(Isn't actually sold by T Mobile, but that's its name) . Sporting LTE support for bands B17/B4/B2.
People around the forums have said it works fine with AT&T LTE.

Hey all-ay a a silly question but what is the drawback of buying a US model of the moto X and using in the UK?
This may be me being stupid but they are loads cheaper on eBay and come in a dying colours

import tax only =))
using AT&T Moto x in Ireland, no probs! The only warning - don't take Sprint's one - you won't be able to unlock it, as it appeared to be pure CDMA device
Basically what okaban said. I'd see if you could get the GSM unlocked version (as called the T-Mobile version) but if there's an AT&T Moto X you really like you should be fine. If you see a Verizon one you like, I don't think you need to modify anything if you're not in the US. I know this was the case with my RAZR M (I had to unlock the radio for it to work in the US though).

You can't have UK LTE bands on US phones: I think that LTE might be already a factor deserving consideration in the UK. In the UK you have 800/1800/2600 MHz and the only US model which supports at least 2600 is ATT. It might be better with Latin America models but I'm not sure.
If LTE is an issue for you, I would wait for the 32gb European model.
If it's not an issue for you, you would be ok with a ATT or the Dev Edition GSM version (which I have been using since Thursday in Ireland)

4G label is how Moto X shows HDSPA+ network connection.
Yep, I'm using a GSM DE (xt1053) in Spain and it shows "4G", where 3g+-only phones would display "H".
This is not LTE, and no US model will ever work on any European LTE (real 4G) network that I'm aware of regardless of whether or not you try flashing country-specific firmware. The LTE radios are physically different. LTE doesn't exist where I am so it's not a concern, but if you have access to an LTE signal then DEFINITELY spend the extra cash for your country-specific model.

The US market is a little nuts so US phones show 4G for HSPA and 4GLTE for LTE connections. The rest of the world(most of it anyway) shows the proper protocol for the connection type. (H, LTE etc)

The phone will work with WIFI. You need a GSM phone, not a CDMA phone, if you want cellular reception.
-deleted.
(I didn't realize the O.P. was asking about a US Cellurar Moto X, which apparently may have a crippled GSM radio.

Thanks for your response. I will stay back from buying as there is no point having a device with broken wifi. .

While this wiki page -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moto_X indicates the XT1055 does support 850/900/1900/2100 UMTS/HSPA, the FCC docs don't list any UMTS/HSPA/WCDMA tests, only CDMA, LTE, and Wifi. And US Cellular's web site doesn't list UMTS/HSPA as supported either. So I'm not sure. Reading THIS FCC doc for the XT1055 indicates only CDMA 800/1900, LTE Bands 4, 5 and 12 only. No mention of UMTS/HSPA/WCDMA.
UMTS and HSPA will be needed if you want faster than 2G speeds on GSM networks.
one other thing I'm unsure of, if the US Cellular X (XT1055) is SIM unlocked for GSM.

Thanks. It is very strange that Moto X comes in different model by network and confusing which one to choose from for the GSM networks like in the UK.
Motorola Moto X XT1058 for AT&T
Motorola Moto X XT1053 for T-Mobile
Motorola Moto X XT1052 for Europe
Motorola Moto X XT1056 for Sprint
Motorola Moto X XT1060 for Verizon
Motorola Moto X XT1055 for U.S. Cellular

This is because of the different frequencies in use by location, and by carrier as well in the case of the USA...
I would be been nice if Moto could have made one GSM version that supported all GSM/EDGE/UMTS/HSPA/LTE frequencies around the globe, and then the CDMA variants (like Verizon, Sprint and US Cellular) as needed.
From that list, most would probably say... XT1052 or XT1053 for use in Europe, but keep in mind the XT1053 would be missing some LTE bands and/or UMTS/HSPA bands that are likely used in Europe.
XT1058 could also work, but you can't unlock its boot loader, and you'd have to watch out for one or two bands not being there.
I want to buy Moto X 2014 GSM Unlocked version from US.
I live in Europe - Macedonia, so i want to know will this phone work in Macedonia?
Also there are 2 choises on motorla site Motorla X pure edition and NET10 Wireless , which one should i chose
You have to consider what networks your GSM supports. The version you will buy will depend on your carrier.
EDIT: This section is also for the 2013 model. The 2014 Moto X have their own section.
