I am looking at a nexus one on ebay, but the seller didn't state if it was the att or tmobile version. I sent him a message asking him which version and told him about tmobile version not being able to use att's 3g. He replied, "The ATT since it is compatible on both."
I guess I need to be more specific. Is there anything on the box that I could ask him that would identify which version it is? (it's brand new, still in box)
I would look for a different seller... if they have the phone brand new and still in the box, they should know whether it is ATT or T-Mo compatible. If they do not, that is a major red flag, to say the least.
I would gladly buy from Google, but I can only use paypal
By the way, which version do you think a guy from Pakistan would have?

Why would a guy from Pakistan be selling new Nexus One for less than Google? Especially when Google doesn't even sell directly to Pakistan?
Also, look at his rating... he has like 11 transactions.
Edit: I actually just reported the seller, since this is such an obvious scam. As well, looking at the pending sales, several have canceled the purchase because the seller never responded and so forth. It is very clear that this 1 month old member with suspicious history, and even more suspicious listing, is a fraud.
And why can you only use paypal? Do you have all your funds tied up in the PayPal account? You can transfer from a PayPal account to your bank account, for free... takes about 3 business days.

Thanks for the help.
I was wondering why all the nexus ones on ebay are much more expensive. Then I found an acution that said something about taxes making the nexus one cost like $580 from google. Does google charge taxes for the nexus one for OHIO?
You'll pay around $35-40 in taxes for Ohio. Just go through the checkout process without actually completing the sale at the end and you'll see all the costs.

Yeah, in the US you'll pay a sales tax. I think it came out to $562 for me in IL ($33 Tax).
I paid 566.03 after my 7% sales tax.
I live in USA but do not have social security number because I am a student, (I am not a U.S. citizen) so I can not sign any contracts with carriers. I really want to buy Moto X and use it with AT&T, do you know if they are planning to sell it for full price?

i literally just got back from the ATT store, they wouldn't sell it to me without an ATT account
The regular price is showing $579.99 on AT&T's web site. That is way too much for the phone considering the Nexus 4 is $350 and can be used on T-mobile without any contracts. If you really want this phone then I would say walk into a AT&T store and see what they can do. Even though you don't have a SSN there may be special exemptions for students.
That's really hard to consider Moto X over SGS4 Google Play edition considering the same price, and people say the camera is really bad
Will have to take a look at Moto X in store today

Look at the review samples or even the "photos" thread here in the X general forum.
You can sign the contracts without SSN, all you need to do is pay a $500 security deposit, they will return it to you within a year if you pay your monthly fee on time.

I went into my local AT&T this morning trying to buy one off contract. They couldn't get the transaction to process though so the manager called support and was told that Motorola/Google are not allowing the Moto X to be sold off contract at launch.
Yeah, they told me that they won't sell it off contract for the first month

i bought mine sort of off-contract. but, instead a month-to-month "contract". pretty sure it would be pointless to buy this phone outright from AT&T. it's entirely locked down to AT&T. until someone proves otherwise, i'm unsure this "GSM" phone will work off their network.
i could be way off...

I'm on the $60 AT&T GoPhone plan. I was able to walk in buy one no commitment with no questions asked.

unbelieveably it is vailable in Future shop, Canad off the contract. I got mine on the release day. Even the future shop sales rep was shocked that usually system would not allow him to sell outright at least for a month...

Not sure if you can get it without a contract, but I paid full price (I and under contract for another year and not yet eligible for an upgrade). I paid full retail, which in the store rang up as $540. Not sure why, since the web site shows $579.00, but I won't complain about saving $40.
BTW - the store I went to said they wont stock 32GB versions in store, they will need to be ordered online. I bought a black 16GB Moto X.
So if I walked into an AT&T store and buy their Moto X full price, will they let me unlock it to use it on T Mobile?

I called GoPhone customer service and they gave me the unlock code.
Any Idea when this will happen. Currently my AT&T store (Orlando, Fl.) only carries 3 colors and all in 16gb. They said you need to do motomaker to get 32gb, but they aren't doing it yet!!! Any ideas??
Go to motorola.com to use the moto maker for at&t . What they mean about not doing it yet is probably them not doing it in store.
It's only available for $149 puchase contract or $549 full price. I want the AT&T next upgrade price.

AT&T motomaker was available at device launch. September 16th.
Go through the steps to put it in your cart on the site and you'll be shown options near the end from ATT regarding your plan.
My daughter tried to purchase a PIN to build the X from an AT&T corporate store in Merrillville IN today (10/12/14) and was told that it is "coming soon". She wants to upgrade on her existing 2 year contract because she is grandfathered into a very low rate per month with unlimited data.
Has anyone actually purchased one using this method?
I've seen various dates, all this month, that in-store codes are supposed to become available. Keep trying them unless you are willing to go with what is offered.
Did tmobile give a free lg g4 to all its employees? I see round many if them sell these for cheap because they got them for free.

No, they do have a LG partner program that allows employees to purchase one for a discounted price. It's not free.

It is currently $250 + tax from LG for employees.

You tell me lol I have had 4 different lg g4 purchased online and all came from tmobile employees. I don't think they stole them or else they would not sell them online with name and address. They all said it was a gift and I believe them because when you check the imei on tmo website it shows not recognized, meaning it was a gift for real and never registered for sale. So there is something going on with tmobile and this phone.

Talk with your store manager they should have been contacted by a LG rep.
I think it's a limited time promotion that started about 3 weeks ago.

Only problem with these LG G4 units is that their IMEI's do not seem to be recognized by T-mobile...
http://lgpartnerpurchaseprogram.com/password password LGG4
So, I ended up buying one of these units unknowingly online. Like was said here, the IMEI isn't blacklisted per se, but it doesn't show up in tmobile's registry so I'm having a hell of a time trying to unlock it. Anybody successfully unlock one of these units? I've tried several online unlock services and tmobile has tried several times. Seems like even installing the h815 firmware hasn't worked for others. Any ideas?

G5 Sale
Hey, I wanted to quickly ask anyone about the password they changed it to for the G5. I am a tech care employee as well and can't seem to find it. I already have my partnerpurchaseprogram account registered with my t-mobile.com email from the G4 and the V10 sale, but I feel like I didn't even get the G5 email and no one seems to know it. Does anyone know what they changed it to?
I know if you pre-order from Samsung you get the headphones but are there any deals if you pre order from Verizon? I had to do it through Verizon. I hope some deals will come out for those of us who did it through the carrier.

You get the headphones too. On the day you activate your phone you open the shop samsung app to fill out the form.
***Side Note, you could have bought it at Best Buy, still do bill pay and get a $200 gift card on top of the headphones.
I have a emoyee account with Verizon so I can only order through the app or customer care.

As in you work for Verizon or you get a discount because your employer gets that discount? If its the first, I totally get it.
Best buy with verizon only has a $100 off promotion with verizon... sprint has the $200 off.
Verizon also has a bogo deal, BUT you have to activate a new line for it. For a free $1000 phone, we opted for that, and when we pay off my note 8 from last year, we'll cancel the spare phone line.
The bottom line with our s7 edge tradein was $650 with contract monthly payments for 2 Note 9 base model phones... a hell of a deal!

Are those headphones wired or wireless? T-mobile states that they're wireless but the model number appears to be wired, I believe. So which is it? Anyone know for sure?
Does anyone know if i pre-order and do the BOGO deal can i swap one of the phones to another account? I want to do this deal with my brother who is on a different account. I have no problem keeping a new line open for 24 months but will i be able to swap one phone activation (just the phone) to another account. I spoke with a rep and they said it was only within the same account but sometimes they do not have all the correct info.
Anyone know?
