Hello guys!
This is my first Andorid device (after good years with Windows Phone 7.x and Windows Phone 8) I had to buy a me a good&affordable phone so I decided to buy the Moto G which was not a bad decision!
But: I bought it here in Perú, the operator is Claro! and I need to use it in Europe!
Are there any posibilities to SIM unlock it? I heard about several websites which are offering unlock codes for claro for about 15$, but I want to check it if I can do it on my own?
Thanks for help in advance!

Thanks, I wrote that eBay guy if he also could provide an unlock code for my Peruvian version of the Moto G...
Meanwhile I tried out another unlocking page and I am waiting now for the 4th day...I hate waiting, and the worst is, that in case that they can´t provide me a code a have to wait between 1-3 days more on the other webiste... :silly:
Many also use SMGreen on Ebay so I suggest emailing him as he's very helpful

Call T-Mobile
If the phone is no longer under contract (the old owner finished out the contract, or the phone was bought full price, or whatever) they are pretty helpful with unlocking them, at least in the USA.
agreed. call the carrier and if your nice and have been with the carrier long enough they usually can help you out.
My Defy came from Argentina... No chances to get an unlock code... Does anyone know another way to unlock Defy? Actually mine is just like an IPod

Hello,
A friend of mine recently bought on the Internet a Moto G which turned out to be carrier-locked. Now, I have no idea to what carrier it is locked and so I am asking you this: apart from the obvious solution which is cellunlocker.net, is it possible to root the phone, install a custom ROM such as CyanogenMod and use it with whatever carrier?
What woud you suggest for someone in our predicament?
Thank you!

You can probably unlock the bootloader and root the phone, despite it's carrier locked. That won't remove the lock tho and you won't be able to use it on another carrier just like that.
On the other hand you can always buy an unlock code off ebay for 2 euro or so.

Thanks, liveroy! Just a quick question as I've never had to do this, if you don't mind: does it matter that I don't know the carrier to which the phone is locked?

Specifically for the Moto G, you need only the IMEI.
I have a E5 supra Cricket Phone. I want to keep the service with Cricket, I just want it Rooted. I have to wait 6 months with the phone - and the Motorola site wont let me do a OEM unlock. In developer mode it does let me turn it on.
Still possible to root? I am not interested in changing Rom, Simply having it Rooted. its a XT 1924-6
Note : its a spare phone, 10 Bucks a month - 4th line. Wife dropped it cracked screen. So not my main driver/ Main is a Tmobile Motorola Z2 Force that's Rooted and US cell Rom. Keep it at the house for house phone.
About the Carrier from the Original Question : The model Number like on my e5. : XT 1924-6 That dictates the Carrier. Look by the battery and google the number.
Hello all, i recently bought Moto G 4G from Tesco but it is sim locked. All ebay sellers give certain IMEI numbers that can be unlocked and my device is not one of them. Maybe someone have found one that can unlock all IMEI? Thx!
P.S Sorry wrong thread, if someone can move it to Q and A

SIM unlock AT&T XT1045
eBay vendors are reporting they can't find unlock code for AT&T XT1045. Doe anyone know reliable place for unlock code?
TIA
Sorry, I appreciate this is a really old thread, but I wanted to share my experience of trying to SIM unlock a Moto G 4G locked to Tesco. I unlocked the bootloader and rooted the phone to use TB and AdAway. I tried to get a SIM unlock code from various vendors on eBay but all gave refunds as they couldn't find an unlock code.
I paid £10 to Tesco but they couldn't get a code and said they passed it on to Motorola. I heard nothing so went direct to Motorola Support. They confirmed my IMEI was correct but said they did not have an unlock code, a subsidy code they called it. They were polite but constantly said they had no code. I pressed them and eventually they told me they couldn't help as I had rooted my phone and they couldn't access my SIM unlock code. I said I had applied to unlock the bootloader and asked had my phone told them what I had done to it? Did they not have records of each code for each IMEI? They ignored that and repeated they didn't have a code for me.
Now, call me cynical, but I suggest Motorola are refusing to help or deleted the SIM unlock code when I applied to unlock my bootloader, as to my understanding the two are not linked on the phone and unlocking the bootloader has no effect on the SIM lock. I have passed the matter back to Tesco but am not going to hold my breath.
My advice would be to look at SIM unlocking your Moto G first before anything else, then unlock the bootloader after that.
hey.
just a quick message for anyone else that runs into this issue. i also had problems unlocking my moto g 4g (xt1039) locked to tesco mobile. i had rooted and unlocked bootloader, and was buying unlock codes from various sellers on ebay, but each one said code not found for my imei and they refunded me.
eventually a seller messaged me saying that the regular server had rejected my imei, but that an unlock code could be obtained from 'motorola not found server' for £2.99. so i paid the cash and got the code about 1-2 days later. can't post a link as this is a new account, but seller is mnz technologies.
IMEI 355488060966817 Globe Telecoms Motorola Moto G. Thanks. Can you still unlock it?

I'm interested in this one too. I have one on AT&T that I would like to get an unlock code for. All of the supposed videos with links on youtube that I've tried with "unlock code generators" are full of crap.
Anyone ever find an unlock code for these? I have one sitting here that I bought on Ebay that was guaranteed to be able to be unlocked....LOL...Needless to say I did get my money back, but the phone is still sitting here in a box...

Yours that is sitting in the box, is it the US AT&T version? If so you might be able to contact AT&T and get the unlock code for free. www.att.com/deviceunlock would be the site you would use.

So...basically I purchased a phone as a gift described like new, unlocked. Looked brand new...only 2 months old from the cri...store Motorola e5 cruise....never heard of it but moto has good reviews. Turned it on with their sim...would not work...tried my sim...it's locked to their network....called the company explained i received it as a gift..and it won't work. They looked up the IMEI #....it's linked to the guy I got it from......he also has the same number......they advised i called him to get his name, acct# and PIN to unlock it and transfer it over.....the guy won't return messages or texts. It's a gift for my brother but it's useless how it is. PLEASE PLEASE.......someone tell me what u need to unlock it...it did have a screen with an unlock code blank boxes...but I don't know the code....I'm beyond desperate....I believe that Cri.. Is owned by att.....I'll give u any info needed....
