Hi,
does anyone of you imported Moto X to Europe? Did you have to pay import charges? Where did you order your Moto X? I was thinking of ebay.com, but I would like to pay not more than 600 USD, but with import charge it would be much more. Is there any internet shop that selling Moto X and it's not so expensive there?
Thanks for all your response.
Allso thinking about importing a Moto X. But with E-bay things get really expensive. Just plain white or black unlocked Moto X will set you back about 600 dollars incl shipping. Than you allso have to pay customs.
well I ordered yesterday a moto x from ebay. the phone was $549 + $20 shipping + $120 import fee.
total is $690 for an unlocked phone which is $40 more than the dev edition.
I don't really know if this price is okay-ish or if I've been robbed... fact is, this phone seems to have a good battery life and coming from a nexus 4 that can only be an improvement.
I think this phone is worth of its price
So ebay is the only way to order it and have it shipped to Europe?
Been having my eyes on the moto x since it became available in the US. My main concern though is not the price (although the import tax is way too expensive) but if the european carriers' LTE bands are supported by the x. Spending 600$ on a phone and not being able to get the 4G speeds is a setback...
I'm actually hoping for moto to produce an international version but probably just having way too high expectations...
I guess we are stuck with ebay at the moment and a big questionmark regarding LTE bands...

Neither of them ships to Europe (maybe just amazon but there aren't interesting offers).
I also hopes for Google Play Edition, maybe that version will be available in Europe.
I think i saw a recap on the moto x Wikipedia page (the english one) that lists the 4g frequencies that the moto x can use. I think it covers pretty much every common bands.
(I'm one the phone so putting a link here is a bit of a hassle but it should be pretty easy to find)
I have imported a Rodgers moto x to the UK through family. Yes I did get import charges. It needs unlocking I did it through cellunlocker. All works fine.

I bought it from ebay unlocked/unnamed and it works perfect in Egypt (gsm) unfortunately we don't have LTE yet but H+ is really good.
Price on ebay dropped to something like us$ 490.

I think you are referring to this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moto_X
The variants section state the bands.
I still don't think it'll work specifically in my country cause according to this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks I am on band 3 which is nowhere to be found on the previous link.
Just received it! Rooted, set locale to fr-CA (voice thing doesn't work with fr-FR). I don't have a nano sim yet, I'll try to trim down my existing sim... Either way the real nano sim is coming in the next couple of days.
Active notification is nice. Also, I don't know if this is because I'm mainly using it with USB plugged in but the screen also lights up when you grab the phone. No need to push the power button... It's actually quite nice : just grab the phone and unlock it and you're good to go.

Active display and toucheless controls are awesome, made life easy and fast, also camera initiation by double twisting hand, this phone is a break through and I'm trying to imagine what will be the next moto x generation.
Got my Moto X today in the UK..... it's AWESOME.... but off swappa like I did

Hi there,
Is there anyone that can confirm LTE on the moto x working in Europe (at dependable good speeds). Living in the Netherlands currently.
Going to the US for Christmas... would like to pick a moto x up (hopefully the wooden backs our then). Only thing that got me concerned is LTE compatibility. My google searches result in contradictive answers.
Motox should support LTE 700 / 850 / 1700 / 1900 (... if someone could confirm this)
If only I would know someone used this phone successfully in the Netherlands (LTE .. 4G at expected speeds and dependable connectively)
thanks in advance!

We could probably help you determine if it would work but you would need to tell us what band(s) your provider uses for LTE in the Netherlands.

providers I am willing to switch to are KPN, T-Mobile and Vodaphone (dutch providers)
wiki shows support for 800, 1800, 2600 (KPN alone supports 800)
again... google search results are contradictive. I believe it when I see it ; ) ... if someone confirms use in the larger cities I would be sold
thanks!

I don't think you will see LTE support on the 800 or 1800 mhz frequencies used internationally, however 2600 Mhz is officially supported by the Rogers XT1058 Moto X. If you want to verify you need to look to see if the provider uses "band 7 LTE"
If they do then your best bet is a Rogers Moto X, they can be sim unlocked for 8 dollars or less and Motorola allows bootloader unlocking. There is no branding on the hardware or in the software which is nice. The only disadvantage is they are 16gb only and woven black/white only. I will probably be listing one on ebay or swappa soon myself as I have two of them.

Thanks for the quick response Steve-x
Pardon me for asking. Hope the following is not a dumb questions, but what is a Rogers Moto x? Is this a brand? or is it just a reference to a rooted device? How can I tell a xt1058 model apart from others? (I would really prefer picking a one up when I am in the US next week)
kind of need at least 32gigs... no sd card slot on this thing. However, compromises can not be avoided sometimes.

Not a dumb question at all. Rogers is a mobile phone provider in Canada, they sell the XT1058 version of the Moto X in woven black or white, 16gb only. They are simlocked when new but can be unlocked for 8 dollars or less and they have 2600 mhz band 7 LTE enabled.(this band isn't used in the US) Motorola also allows this version of the Moto X to have the bootloader unlocked which allows for easy rooting and you can flash images from other providers. I am using one myself with a different provider in Canada with the retail version 4.4 installed. There are also no provider logos on the back of the phone which is nice.
Hey all,
Hope this is in the right place. Saw a few similar questions, but nothing exactly like what I was looking for.
I currently have a VZW Galaxy Nexus, rooted, running Shiny ROM with Xposed and GravityBox. Thinking about dumping VZW and going to a Moto X on AT&T or TMO, both prepaid. Question is, which carrier's phone would I be able to use outside the US? I'll be going to Europe this summer and would like to purchase a local SIM in Europe and use it there, instead of paying roaming fees on AT&T or TMO.
According to Wikipedia (can't post link) and what I've read on here, the TMO version is SIM unlocked. So this means it will work on all GSM carriers, right? In the US, that would be AT&T (if TMO doesn't have good signal where I live), and when I travel, that means I can use a local SIM, correct?
Thanks in advance, any help is appreciated!

Yep, that's correct. T-mo is SIM unlocked. I use mine with AT&T actually too. It should work abroad with no trouble other than tracking down a local nano sim or cutting one down.
If however you want to use LTE abroad I don't think the bands in the T-Mobile version match those used in Europe. HSPA+ should work fine though.
From my experience when traveling abroad a prepaid SIM w/ LTE was way more expensive than something I wanted just for being able to gchat home and look up directions on gmaps so it was a moot point.

Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for! I figured LTE wouldn't work in Europe, I was fine with settling for HSPA+ or 3G.
Found a thread here explaining the differences between AT&T, TMO, and Dev Edition. From what I can see, the TMO edition is more flexible than the AT&T edition. Only difference compared to Dev Edition is that unlocking the bootloader on TMO voids your warranty.

LTE works in Europe although is not yet as widely spreaded as in the USA. But you'll be fine with 3G which is fast enough and most countries are well covered with that network. More important issue is roaming if you are planning to visit different countries. You must switch between different operators and even using service from the same operator in different states ( e.g. T-mobile) imply roaming charges. In my opinion the best solution is using local sim with best data plan and voip for calling in every country. If you don't want to switch sim cards, you may find the best roaming solution with prepaid Vodafone Italy. You can buy its clone online (http://www.motorhomewifi.com/product/europa-sim-roaming-data-sim-card/) and refill it in any Vodafone shop around Europe.
Hello all,

sorry.. but your question doesn't make sense. its sorta 2 questions in one.. lemme try to answer it for you...
Q1: Verizon Moto X to be used in ATT?
A1: Yes. Verizon is SIM unlocked. You can use it on ANY carrier that uses GSM/SIM cards. (LTE/HSPA/Data speeds will vary of course due to the modems or whatever you wanna call them built into the phone. No you can't just change a setting in the menu's as they're hardware specific)
Q2: Can the Moto X be rooted?
A2: YES!****** (If you purchase the DE/Developer Edition, you can get the bootloader unlock code from Google/Motorola directly for free. If you purchased the regular retail version, you can purchase the unlock code from the Chinese middleman; look around forums here as the link has there's a dedicated thread for it. There's a fee for that route that converts to roughly around $40 USD'ish. There's another of rooting, but its dependent upon which version of KitKat are you using and how much you want to deal with ADB/FB commands, scripts, and also SS for custom roms. If i lost you here, then stop thinking about rooting your phone altogether on the Retail/Non-DE version of the Moto X..you'll end up with a very nice paperweight.)
Good luck.
Thanks for the info!! Actually I am completely clueless when it comes to an Android (I currently own an Iphone). I would like to upgrade to Android but I want to buy new. I found the Moto X for $100. through Walmart. Now, I am currently using Net10 which is AT&T, and the Moto X is Verizon. That's the reason I was curious to see if I could somehow change it over to AT&T. Thanks again for your time
If you're seeing a Verizon moto x for $100, then it is likely an on-contract price. Meaning you will need to sign up for Verizon service for two years. I don't think this is what you want.
Unless you are thinking of moto g, which does sell for $100 off contract. In which case you should ask on the moto g forums.

Ok, lets go over this again... Yes, Verizon uses CDMA/EVDO for its Voice, SMS and 3G data. For LTE they use Band 4 and 13.
However, Verizon's phones include Quadband GSM radio for global roaming. The X also includes HSPA/HSPA+ support as well. As a condition of Verizon winning the 700Mhz spectrum auction for their LTE a while back, their LTE phones are SIM Unlocked. This is what allows you to put a Non-Verizon GSM SIM into the X or other VZW phones, set the APN settings correctly, and get working non-verizon service.
There are conditions, like you have to get the APN settings for the "target GSM carrier" EXACTLY right, and data speed is dependent on the "target GSM carrier's" network in your area.
And yes, I've done it with many of my Verizon phones (X, Galaxy S4, Lumia 928, BB Z10 and Q10, iPhone 5 and 5S, etc), using my work issued T-Mobile and ATT sims.
There are several threads about using a Verizon Moto X on T-Mobile and ATT that cover it more in detail.

Agreed. Popped in my wife's ATT simcard from her Iphone5s into my MotoX to prove a point to her.... surprising thing was... i picked up ATT LTE w/o having to configure anything on my VZW Moto X. just got lucky? who knows.. go figure.
Hey,
Guys need your urgent help.
I love this phone and have been waiting to buy it for a long time. I prefer the customized version from Moto Maker that is available in US only and not in other countries. My friend is due to travel from US to Dubai by end of this month and I can finally get my hands on the customized version.
Before continuing please bear that my knowledge on this subject is very new.
I have few concerns. I live in UAE where the freq bands by the network provider are 900&1800 Mhz for GSM, 2100 Mhz UMTS, and LTE 3&7 (1800& 2600 Mhz). My concerns are:
1. I doubt the 4G will work. I think Moto x supports a different band for LTE/4G than the one supported by network providers in UAE. So the 4g will not work for Moto X in Dubai correct?
2. If 4G does not work, will the Moto x function with the 3G service provided by network providers here?
I dont know if I understand this topic thoroughly, so let me put my concern in very layman terms - Will a Moto X bought from the Moto Maker store in US, work with UAE network providers 3G service?
I dont want to end up spending 400$ for a phone that wont function fast enough; problem is I want a wooden finish customized phone - one which isnt available in UAE.
Please please help soon!

Just get Tmobile version customised. 3G will work, 4G wont and phone will be SIM unlocked out of box and you will be able to unlock the bootloader as well.
No need to worry about 3G.
Europe will soon get Moto Maker too! It is planned for Q2. The European Moto X's (XT1052) frequencies are:
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900
UMTS: 850/900/1900/2100
LTE: 800/1800/2600
So if you can wait you can get it via Europe

Thanks a lot Funky..
I'm not aware what a bootloader is - a newbie to the tech side of phones or anything. A quick search reveals it to be a set of commands executed at startup/OS. Now, at the risk of sounding even noobish than I have already portrayed, my question is -
1. Will this unlocking the bootloader affect the Touchless controls?
2. Also, since the phone is not officially launched in UAE - I wouldnt be able to get any changes (like unlocking the bootloader or anything else) done.
Thanks for your replies mate. It really made my day. Will be ordering it in a couple of days.

Thanks for your reply tommer. I checked into that possibility - issue is the phone is significantly more expensive in Europe. It costs a good 150 USD more than US. Now 4G is nearly double speed as that of 3G I think. However, 3G speed is fast enough for me.
So the trade-off is between 150 USD or double the speed than what is enough for me. I chose to save the moolah instead.
Thanks for your suggestion.

If you want to keep phone stock, no need to unlock the bootloader. But unlockable bootloader will allow you to flash custom recovery and root the phone.
does not matter where you are. You will still be able to unlock the bootloader through Motorola site. All this is optional. T-Mobile version just offers you this freedom along with moto maker.
Just unlocking bootloader will not affect touchless controls.
From my Moto X, in your face!
I'll be working in UAE soon, are there any CDMA networks there? I'm on vzw here in the states and wondering if my Dev Ed moto x will work there.
-Sent from a nitroglycerine infused moto X... handle with care
tbh, I'm not sure if i the dev edition will work here. There are 2 providers here - Etisalat and Du. I suggest you check their specs.
I know that 4G will not work for sure. Honestly, I'm very uninformed when it comes to these things. Sorry cant help you much.
I know this is the thread for the turbo but I have a Driod Maxx (kind of looks like the Turbo). I tried to switch this phone over to Straight Talk. I went to their website to insert my IMEI and it says its not compatible. Weird thing is I can stick my sim card that I use for my Verizon Moto X (on ST) into the Verizon Driod Maxx (that isnt compatible with ST) and it works. I can make phone calls and receive them. What's the problem? Do I have to flash the phone or something to get it working with straight talk? I bought a new sim card and everything so my phone would work with ST but the IMEI isn't compatible.

Is the phone locked to Verizon? They used to do that, so you couldn't use LTE or HSPA on another carrier in the U.S. Droid Maxx is a 2013 phone. Also there are similarly named phones. Make sure you are talking about the right one...
Motorola Droid razr maxx (cannot be used on USA networks)
Motorola Droid razr maxx hd
Motorola Droid Maxx (sim unlocked for USA and international)
The Droid Maxx is Motorola XT-1080M. Is that the one you have?
full specs:
http://www.phonearena.com/phones/Motorola-DROID-MAXX_id7970/fullspecs
If indeed you have the "Droid Maxx", specs say it only has LTE bands 4 and 13. You say "Straight Talk", like that means something. Straight Talk uses AT&T, T-mobile, Sprint, and Verizon.
Which UNDERLYING CARRIER are you trying to use on Straight Talk? Straight Talk (AT&T), Straight Talk (T-mobile), Straight Talk (Sprint), Straight Talk (Verizon)? I would assume probably AT&T or T-mobile, as Verizon will not let you use a Verizon phone on the Verizon flavor of Straight Talk.
For instance, AT&T uses LTE bands 2, 4, 5, 17 but not ALL those bands everywhere. In Atlanta, only LTE bands 2 and 17. If I had a Droid Maxx (LTE bands 4, 13), it would not be compatible for LTE bands on AT&T in my area. I would want a phone that had LTE capability if I was using Straight Talk (AT&T). However, if the phone is unlocked, you could use the HSPA bands, and you could use LTE band 4 IF AT&T uses it in your area.
But you would need to confirm you do indeed have the Motorola XT-1080M.
If you do, and it's unlocked, you may have to go in and change the APN to work on Straight Talk (AT&T or T-mobile). May not be configured right.
You also say you have a Verizon Moto X that works with "Straight Talk" -- but you don't say which actual carrier... You also don't say if it's gen 1 (2013) or gen2 (2014).
Basically you are not providing enough information, and this is the Quark forum (Droid Turbo, Moto Maxx, Moto Turbo). Probably best you should find the forum for your phone and other owners have probably encountered the issue before?
Try posting here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-ultra
I know that link is for the Droid Ultra forum, but I see lots of Droid Maxx postings. Seems to be both Droid Maxx and Droid Ultra.
Good luck!
The Turbo comes carrier unlocked straight from the factory. I use my Droid Turbo on Straight Talk with their blue sim, get AT&T service on it. LTE is spotty but I get HSPA+ almost everywhere. I checked the IMEI on Straight Talk's BYOP site for the CDMA service, and it said it was compatible. The only reason I haven't tried it is because I don't have WiFi at home, so I need simultaneous voice & data, which I wouldn't get with Straight Talk CDMA, but do get with Straight Talk GSM.
