In Egypt we have the same GSM N/W like Europe, I managed to purchase a Moto X from ebay, it's a Mexican one (America Movil).
Moto X is great and working perfect on Vodafone EG.
Did you buy one from american eBay and import it? Do egypt need to pay import taxes in egypt?
Shame
My family are in the US at the moment... But i have 4G on EE.
Don't think this would work due to LTE bands are different from AT&T to EE

[Q] Which Moto X works on my country ?

Hello,
I was trying to understand which of the Moto X versions works in Brazil ? (besides the one that is sold here).
Because I'm going to travel to Europe in a few months and I want to buy one that works both on Brazil and Europe 4G Network (LTE), but I don't know if there is any of that kind.
Could you guys help me with that information ?
Thanks.

Europe uses bands 3/7/20 (1800/2600/800) and apparently the main LTE band in Brazil is 7, so best would be the European version, but the AT&T version that is sold in Brazil should work inside most cities in Europe, as band 7 is usually used for urban areas..

XT1058 (AT&T) or XT1052 (Europe)
The best phone for you to buy is the retail XT1058 sold in Brazil.

Yes, it would be the best option if it wasn't too expensive .
I'm hoping to get one in Europe less expensive and when I get there I'll need a phone.. so I'll have to buy one there anyway
Thanks.

[Q] Possible to buy UK Moto X in the US?

The US motorola site lets you purchase a Moto G (Global GSM) model at the same price of 199$ for the 16GB one.
I was wondering if its possible to buy a Moto X (XT1052) UK edition (with LTE 1800mhz) from the US at around the same price (329$).
The Moto X if bought in UK converts to around 550$ which is prohibitively high and you don't get the customization options as well.
I wouldn't say so, whoever Motorola's distributor is in the UK wouldn't be over joyed by that.
Are you in Europe or USA?

Yup, ebay. but for that price probably only used ones. Hope that helps!
Also, you could see which US versions match your bands since they're on sale for cheap for another week.

Am in Asia actually and am trying to have a friend in the USA buy it from Motomaker. And the LTE band used here is band 3 (1800), which the UK Moto X (XT1052) has.
The used UK models on ebay are double the price of a brand new US moto x. Guess I'll have to skip LTE.
I am in Ireland and to get a 32gb Dev Edition, I had to buy from the USA. I won't need LTE for probably 2 years.
Mine including shipping cost me €320
There are people in Ireland and on Ebay looking for €600 for them!!

Dual Sim Version?

Seems I'm the first one to open a Thread for the Moto G 2014. *proud*
Did anyone find a source to get a dual-sim version of the Moto G(2) 2014? Preferably on the European mainland.
I'm thankful for every information I can get!
Cheers,
M

Motorola gave out the dual-SIM version to journalists, including myself, yesterday. Is this not the one being sold on Amazon?
Actually, I find it hard to see anything on Amazon. Not helped by Motorola thinking it could call the new Moto G the Moto G (2nd generation) or Moto G 2014 as people are also calling it.
It makes it quite hard to identify which is which on the website, and no doubt elsewhere.

I don't know what is sold on Amazon? With Amazon I would give it a blind order try but I can't find it on .co.uk nor on .de. Did you find it?
Not yet. Lots of the original 3G model at some rather inflated prices though.
Any chance you can upload 2 or 3 pictures taken with it?

I don't know about the European mainland but you can get it in India from Flipkart.com; sales are starting from tonight at sharp 1200hrs.
Yes, the European version is with dual sim, at least believing on Expansys and Handteck, that already are selling the phone... can't find it on amazon thought..
The only downside there it seems to exist is that there are only a 8GB version
Sorry to tag on this thread, does the 2014 moto G have a multi colour LED notification?
Lots of misleading info out there...anyone know whether the US has a dual SIM version and the bands for the dual SIM versions? The Motorola website as it is now is pretty useless.

Before I ordered mine on friday I asked Motorola Germany via facebook if it has dual sim as i couldn't find any infos on motorola Hompage or the german onlineshop (notebooksbilliger.de - they sold on friday with 32GB microSD for € 199,-). On facebook they told me it has dual sim.

When you get yours could you report the model number and the frequencies used by the phone?

Where did you buy it from rafael ?
I'm planning on getting mine but I'm not sure which seller would ship it quicker. (I was between Walmart and Submarino - These are Brazil only retailers if someone is wondering).
It may be a great phone from what I've been researching.

[Q] From Canada - Can I go to the US and buy the 2014 Moto X in stores?

I'm in Canada and finding it a bit of a challenge to find a workaround to get the Moto X through MotoMaker. I'm going to the US in October and was wondering if there are any stores that would carry the unlocked Pure Edition so I could just walk in and buy it?
