Moto X from the first sale arrived today... 32GB T-Mobile (not developer version). Right now we are on Verizon so don't have an alternate SIM card to pop-in and test and it's not currently connected to any mobile plan. #06# doesn't work at all. In the "About Phone" in settings I can see the 15 digit IMEI. A quick check on aio wireless showed it would work only with the 3G even though they do offer 4G LTE. A chat with their support staff indicated it was locked SIM to T-Mobile. Going to www.cellunlocker.net and putting in the info brought up that it was locked to T-Mobile.
Bummer... did we just get unlucky, or are others finding it locked as well?
I bought a T-Mobile one. Got it on Tuesday and popped my AT&T sim card in and voilá. It works. No sim unlock required.

If it worked at all instead of requesting you enter a code then it isn't locked.
Did you ever determine if the device did work on Aio?
Hey all.
I ordered a moto X about 2 weeks ago, i got the unlocked Tmobile version that was on sale for 350$
anyway i live abroad and i was sure that i would be able to use the phone here (like the moto G) but i cant, it seems that the phone is ONLY unlocked for US carriers.
So my questions are:
1) is there an easy way for me to unlock it Globally for free? (Tmobile said they can do it but only from a store in the US).
2) I saw people can buy unlock codes, but my phone does not show that it is unlocked so i'm not sure if that will work..?
Any help would be very appreciated!

If you have the tmobile version then the phone is already sim/provider unlocked.
Which phone exactly did you get and what specific problem are you having?

I got the moto x from moto maker (picked the unlocked T-Mobile version)
The problem is that its not unlocked for Sim abroad, only in the U.S . I wanted to know how I can get it to work with a Sim not from the U.S
TMO version is supposed to be unlocked for any carrier. How do you know that it is not the case? Did you try to put non-US SIM card and it failed?

I know my friend in Belgium who ordered it and its working fine with his Belgium Sim. Try to put the SIM in and see how it goes. It should work.

Thanks for the replay's.
I did put a local Sim in the phone and it could not register to a local networked (the same Sim worked in a different phone )
Note that it found the local networks just can't log to them.
Note 2 . TM told me that its locked for use abroad ...
It is 100% unlocked, there is no partial lock on the phone. If the phone can't register with your provider there is a different problem not related to sim locking.
I'm using my T-Mobile X in the Caribbean all fine with no hiccups or issues. Maybe it needs the APN.

I bought the T-mobile version form Moto maker, and without a problem put a Base nano sim in it. Works fine. Strangely enough it shows 4G almost everywhere... Wonder if that is correct?

Does it jsut show the 4G symbol or the 4G with the small LTE next to it? If you have HSPA service, you will see 4G.
4G it shows, which in Belgium is HSPA+

So the weirdest thing happened to me. I bought my moto g on amazon, unlocked, global mode and i was using it in my country with no issues. So i took a vacation to the United States (Im from dominican republic) and bought an international simcard (lycamobile) wich works in many countries, and in the US it uses the tmobile network bands. The phone detected the sim and it was all good. Then i came back from my vacation and thats where it all started. When i inserted my local simcard, the phone did not grab signal at all, saying that it cannot connect to the carrier. Tried manual carrier lookout, automatic, wipe cache, factory reset, apn settings, but nothing seems to work. Went to my local carrier, and they told me that the phone might have locked it self to the international carrier. Talked to motorola and the international carrier, and they both told me that this is uncommon, that it shouldnt happened. now im using my simcard on another phone just to receive and make calls. If anyone has a clue, please let me know.
Thanks.
For me it's crazy never heard of that I've had two unlocked phones always changing sim when y travel to other countries never happened already in my old s4mini used a lycanmobile sim in Miami and claro in Dominican everything was flawless
Your carrier should be able to unlock the Sim or replace the Sim.

Nah, i called and they checked, they dont register the phone.
Any Moto X 2013 owners in India got their phone to work on Reliance Jio network?
This phone supports 4G LTE bands 2(1900), 4(1700/2100), 5(850), 17(700) - US and 3(1800), 7(2600), 20(800) - EU.
If I'm not mistaken Jio uses LTE band 3(1800), 40(2300) India for their network so technically we should be able to use it right?
Even if VoLTE has not been enable on the firmware level by Motorola but still their JioVoice app should do the trick.
But the issue is right now their latest app is not generating any bar code on Moto X(2013) phones, that old apk method might work but I just wanted to make sure if the effort is even worth it.
Anyone already using Jio on their Gen 1 Moto X? Please respond. Thanks in advance.
looks like what u predicted is true!
I have been using the jio on my moto x(ghost) Indian retail variant for about a month and I have to say it just works fine without any issues.
Note:-the VOLTE SUPPORT IS NOT PRESENT SO USE JIO4GVOICE APP FOR CALLS
See attached pics for proof

Thanks so much for the response. :good:
BTW did you use the old apk method because the latest versions fail to generate the damn barcode on my X2013? And any reliable link for the apk?
Also did you try tinkering with the VoLTE Provisioned Flag from the INFO mode(*#*#4636#*#*)?
Though I doubt that it will make any difference without VoLTE enabled on a firmware level by Motorola like they did with the Moto X Play with a firmware update but still worth a shot I guess.
Thanks again.
Actually it was the case that I generated the barcode on my friend's moto g3 and then I plugged the sim in my moto x and in that case it worked fine and flawlessly.
Another thing:-i just went in to the info. Mode and set the Freq. To "LTE only".
One more thing:-if u want then still u can generate the code by the old jio (v 3.2.05) app.the app will show the "get the jio sim" only when all jio apps are installed.
For the old version of my jio app just Google it by mentioning the version u will easily get some down links
Ah I see. Thanks again.
moto x xt1060
I have a Moto x xt1060, it was working very good in india with airtel but recenty i just put a jio 4g sim to check if it support or not hten when i inserted my airtel sim again there is not network, its says 'sim card is not from verizon wireless' plz help me what to do? in recovery mode it says device is locked status code 0
I used the jio sim in the device officially sold in India I.e. the xt1052 variant.this same variant was also sold in Europe and so this model had no issues running the sim.
Moreover Verizon is a cdma carrier in US while the jio in India is completely based on the gsm carrier.
U might not get support for sim as of lack of the proper bands or as of the improper unlock.

Hi guys,
I have the MOTO X US Cellular 16gb which is infact working with only reliance JIO
Let me know if anyone need it for cheap?
Thanks
I just started using JIO today. The jio4Gvoice app is annoying coz it doesn't let me call through my stock phone app. Is it possible to call from Jio without the 4gvoice app?

I'm on Tmobile now but going to Verizon soon but would like to buy a Tmobile g6 and unlock it. So what the title says, I know service will work but will I get lte through Verizon on my Tmobile phone. I used Tmobile in Verizon phones no problem and got lte before.
It depends on what radios the Tmobile G6 supports. I believe it has a sim card slot for the smaller sim cards verizon uses. I would google tmobile g6 radio and verizon radio bands and compare.
Also if I am not mistaken you will have to unlock the phone in order for it to accept another carrier. I believe if you buy the phone outright, tmobile will send you instructions for unlocking it.
Ok. I'm ordering the factory u locked g6 with dual sim. Hopefully it fully support cdma
I would also be interested in knowing if it would work or not.

T-Mobile generally requires a device be on their service for 40 days before unlocking it. Something to keep in mind.
Sent from my LG-H872 using Tapatalk
once unlocked you should be able to use LTE, but only for data. Most likely it will NOT support VoLTE (HD voice ) and VoWiFi.
I bought a used tmobile lg g6, used the unlock app to permanently unlock, but can't get it to work on verizon network. I inserted my verizon sim card but just tells me network is unavailable
Verizon refused to accept the imei for my t mobile G6. So I refused to remain a Verizon customer.
