I bought a us cellular moto x off ebay for a very good deal for the intention of putting it on tmobile, since the moto x in a world phone. I bought a SIM card and called them and got it hooked up to my account that I previously had and for a few mins it completely worked, i got the tmobile text, and some texts that people had sent to me a while ago, but i hadn't gotten them since i hadnt had a sim card in on any phone. But after i restarted my phone, i'm not able to make or recieve calls or texts, however I CAN use 4g LTE data. What should I do to fix this? Any help is greatly appreciated!
EDIT: I just got a text from one of my friends but i cannot reply to it.

Has anyone had any problems, or even gotten an unlocked Moto X on MetroPCS? I searched everywhere, but couldn't find anything. I know that Metro has your own BYOD program in DFW and other cities, but is that ONLY for their phones that are listed? Any info on the subject would be much appreciated.

it's not officially supported.
Metro pcs is part of t Mobile now. If you bring over an unlocked gsm device I think they even give you a $50 rebate. Friend of mine did it with a Puerto Rico moto x. All on t mobiles network if you do it.

I know this thread is several months old but I had an unlocked Moto X activated on metro today. So far everything is working well. It shows that I have 4G LTE. I have tested calls and data using both the 4G and wifi connections. I am using an unlocked GSM Moto X.

I also have just had a MOTO X on Metro PCS. I ordered the Phone, and also the Metro PCS Sim Cards for $10(plus tax) from their website. Installed the sim card, and called *228. They ask for the IMEI# which doesn't show up in their system. I told them it was an unlocked phone. They input the serial, and Metro Sim # and it's working fine.

I'm still using my xt1053 on Metropcs. I lost all data after the LP update but fixed it with a new Apn. Otherwise I've had no issues in the last 18+ months. (no issues with the service, I have all kinds of issues with the phone itself after updating.)

I use it on MetroPCS, no problems at all.
I'm thinking about buying a 2014 Verizon Model Moto X and using it on Straight/ATT.
I know it wouldn't get LTE. But I think it will still make calls, text and get hspa, but I'm not 100% sure.
So my question is have anyone else been using their Vzw Moto X on Straight Talk / ATT and if so, how has it been...service wise?
Just curious why not get a Pure edition? I used pure on St att, LTE, everything worked perfectly.

Because the person is selling it to me for $280.
But after I opened this thread, I texted the individual and told them that not only was I gonna call Verizon to verify the phone isn't blacklisted etc, I was also gonna pop my sim into the phone to make sure it actually works with ST.
I checked the imei of a Sprint iPhone 6 last week on Swappa and it came back clean and ready for activation. However when I contacted Sprint (which I did twice for the same phone) they told me the phone was reported stolen. So I don't go by what Swappa results are anymore.
But anyways, he refused to let me put my sim in...and all of a sudden said he had another buyer...smh
Wow yeah steer clear of shady sellers. Remember you can get student discount for Pure.

Yup...I know. It's just that I'm in the process if moving and I thought that was a good deal. But when something is to good to be true, something is most likely shady...
Hi All,
I recently purchased a Droid Turbo from the US on eBay and when i got my new sim card to put in it yesterday it work fine and I could make and recieve calls as well as access my 4g network data.
However this morning I cant make or recieve calls at all and there is no data access, I get the following messaeges:
Sim Card is not from Verizon
When I take the sim out and put it back in I get:
Restricted Access Changed - Voice Service is blocked
I dont understand how this can all of a sudden not be working after it was when I first used it? Can someone please help me with this issue?
I also checked the IMEI number to ensure it hadnt been blacklisted and the results are below:
Blacklisted Not Indicated
This device does not appear to be globally blacklisted.
Activation Status Clear (Verizon)
Device appears to be activation ready.
Thanks
Hi All,
So I have actually tracked this to a sim issue as EE have apparently sent 2 sims out for some reason and already de-activated the one I have so I will wait for the new one and then should be all good
Thanks

Hi, did you receive the new sim yet? does it work?
I am looking to buy one too and I am curious what is the best route to get the phone from the US to the UK.
Amazon, Ebay?... any custom fee to pay?
hi guys, ive been using mine now for a couple of weeks on ee in london, no issue like the above. Got it from ebay (went for the global shipping option) and had it delivered here for a total of £460 inc customs and delivery. Phone works great on ee, no dropped calls etc, 30mb down on 4g/lte
I have a Nexus 6 I bought from a 3rd party. Its a TMo variant so its Sim unlocked and whatnot. When I put my VZW Sim in I get LTE and such. I can't call nor send texts messages from said device. From what I get from threads on here I should request a new Sim card and stuff from VZW but if that doesn't work how would I go about fixing this issue. I mean I've already tried the whole calling the Verizon and having them elevate the case but that doesn't do anything. Eh. I mean I still have my M8 so I've been using that but it seems like this phone just doesn't want to work on VZW.
Are there any special things I should do to my phone to make it work. Or any special APNs I should use
Thanks

Please could you describe your question in the thread title? Maybe something a bit more descriptive like "using Verizon sim in TMO N6 - no calls or sms"? That way you will target the people who may know the answer whilst saving people who don't the time spent on reading the thread?
Thanks for your consideration
The phone is going to be blocked via the IMEI.
I don't see it happening on Verizon. Maybe after they roll out the Nexus on their network we would know more.

Mine was purchased from Motorola and activated just fine on VZW. Used a cut down sim card from my last phone. Phone was purchased in November.

Yes direct from Google or Motorola has always worked. I have one from Google myself on Verizon.

This surprises me maybe Verizon has decided to stop being such douchebags.

The N6 is carrier unlocked except the AT&T version and that's easily remedied, it's got to be APN related. Try a ROM that includes all of the Verizon APN's like Chroma and see if that helps.
If you have a SIM that was already activated then there probably won't be a problem -- it should work fine in any N6 (except I hear the AT&T is network locked).
Hey guys, I bought a second hand AT&T Moto X 2014 off ebay about a week ago with a clean IMEI. I unlocked the phone by buying a code online, but since then have not been able to get a stable signal. I purchased a new TMobile nano card, and had it activated. I'll get cell service for about 3 minutes, and can make calls, send a text... then the phone will get no service whatsoever for the rest of the day. I'll get surprise pockets of service for several minutes once or twice a day.
I spent some time with the TMobile technicians, who have registered the IMEI, have done a master restore (not sure what that meant) sent several signal downloads to the sim, and ultimately said the issue is with the phone. I also tried my wifes ATT sim card and rebooted, still resulting in no service on ATT either. The Moto X is running 5.02. I've tried messing with the APN settings in various formats that I've seen online. My new sim works with my Nexus 5 perfectly.
I contacted the ebay seller, who is willing to refund 50% of the purchase due to unlocking the phone online. Do I pretty much have a bricked phone? I can't seem to find a solution and have gone back to using my nexus 5 with a shattered screen.
Thanks for the help.
Try changing the network from gsm/LTE (default) to wcdma preferred. I found the phone to pick up better signal when I change it to wcdma. Download the app secret phone info from the playstore. I also have the at&t variant and I unlocked it buying an online code and it works flawlessly with my carrier

Thanks so much!!
After having tried reflashing to stock, fastbooting just the radio, doing numerous factory resets, downloading the app you suggesting and switching the networks gets me reliable cell coverage! Now I just have to work on figuring out how to get data coverage.
Thanks again!
How is the world did you know to do this? This happened to me after I unlocked my AT&T XT1097. Once unlocked with T-Mobile SIM, the phone no longer shows any service with either AT&T or T-Mobile. Very frustrating, was ready to send the phone back and luckily decided to Google and of course, this is exactly what the issue was. THANK YOU, THANK, THANK YOU.
Why is this even an issue with this phone? Makes no sense. You truly saved the day.
Getting the unlock code
Can you guys please tell me where you got the unlock codes from? There are a bunch of sites online, and I don't know which one to purchase it from.
Thanks
