Hello,
I am on AT&T carrier using on HTC ONE X and I am looking forward to buy Verizon MOTO G prepaid no contract phone @ BestBuy as it is on sale for $100. I was wondering whether it will work on my AT&T carrier or not as I am on 2 year contract.
And if I unlocked it, can I still get the android updates.
HELP!!!
It won't because CDMA doesn't work with GSM (part of the reason why CDMA phones are cheaper)

It is a make of CDMA/GSM right, so the guy selling the phone told it can be.
How about unlocking it and use???

Ask the guys on Verizon if it has a sim slot moto g doesn't seem as if it would be a Verizon world phone the moto x on the other hand yes. I am using a moto g on T-Mobile got it from Motorola

Hi All
I`m travelling to the states in a few weeks and was interested in picking up a new phone , namely the Moto G. I noticed best buy have two versions
an verizon no contract for $99 and an unlocked for $202. The downside is that they only seem to have the verizon in store , the other has to be ordered in.
Anyone know what the best option is, would the verizon need to be unlocked for use on a foreign network? If so ,is that a straight forward job?
And also, is the verizon version ok for rooting? I read somewhere its not possible.
Thanks in advance
If you are getting one for abroad , get the international GSM version. Here's why:
1. The Verizon Moto G is CDMA only, which means it will only work on Verizon and cannot be unlocked for use on a GSM network in another country.
2. The Verizon Moto G cannot have its bootloader unlocked because Verizon mandates that so you cannot root it at all.

So I know it's CDMA so ATT and T-Mobile compatibility is out. But how about unlocking it for Sprint?
Page plus.

I actually bought 2 of them the other day for $70. My son & I are using them like iPod-like devices. I disabled a bunch of apps and used Nova Launcher to hide the dialer & messaging app. It is such the upgrade over my old Eris that the boy was using before!

Nope. The only thing it will work on is VzW pre-paid. The Boost version can be flashed over to Page Plus and I believe Selectel (but NOT Straight Talk or Net10), but the VzW version can't go anywhere, as the bootloader is locked and cannot be unlocked.
In any case, why would you want to? If you like the Sprint network, buy the Boost version instead of VzW.
Ok so I decided on buying a moto g and while googling prices i spotted this.
the verizon prepaid moto g is 68.99 while the unlocked moto g is 199.99.
why is it so low?also is there a way to make the verizion prepaid phone accept a tmobile sim card?
I feel like these are stupid questions but hey i wanna learn
The XT1028 Moto G can ONLY be used with Verizon prepaid, no SIM card, 3G only..this model was/is on sale for around $50 now, its a gimmick to lure ones in to purchase a device, that MUST be used on Verizon only..
TIP..Purchase the new Moto G 4G LTE..it can be used almost any carrier..

Hi,
I want to buy Motorola Moto G ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...rd_t=36701&pf_rd_p=1970559082&pf_rd_i=desktop). This is a prepaid phone.
Can I use it with my SIM in Slovenija or not ??? (without paying extra money for)
Tnx, Vid
In description it says carrier= Verizon so I believe this may be locked to Verizon try searching "unlocked moto g", or " sim free moto g'

You should look for a moto g that support's your carrier's frequencies.
That phone is for Verizon which uses CDMA and therefore i don't believe that it uses a SIM card. I would recommend this model which should work with your carrier. I'd double check the frequencies but I'm sure that this is the one you'd want.

So I got a used Boost Moto G on Ebay thinking I could still activate it on Selectel/PagePlus. Went through the guide to unlock it, flashed to Verizon stock firmware, then Selectel tells me the ESN of Boost phones is no longer being allowed by Verizon to be used by the MVNO's. Is there a way for me to use a donor phone (old Droid X I currently have on Selectel) and put its ESN etc on the Moto G? If so, what is the process? If this is too much hassle or not possible, I will have to resell the phone and find a Verizon Moto G that has been used for over 6 months (that still will work for Selectel, yes?)
