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?)

No I can't have you, as I'm not interested in a relationship right now. But the moto g for $99 is the verizon model (CDMA) last time I checked. ATT is not compatible.

Verizon and Boost versions are both CDMA and not compatible with AT&T.
I have the Boost version and flashed to Verizon version to use on PagePlus which runs on Verizon Wireless

So the boost version can be unlocked?
I wonder if you can unlock the Verizon version after 6 months
So the boost version can be unlocked?
YES I've unlocked mine without a problem then flashed with Verizon firmware and use on PagePlus. You won't be able to use it with Verizon prepaid or post paid
I wonder if you can unlock the Verizon version after 6 month?
I wouldn't count on it. The only thing you may be able to do after six months is move from prepaid to a post paid plan. Other then being able to change plan type your probably out of luck. There is a bounty offered to find a way to unlock but so far no solution.

So you used Motorola's website which voids the warranty?
Anyone know if the U.S. Cellular version can be unlocked? It is $79.99

YES
I don't know about US cel version
How do you like Page Plus? how does it compare to VZW prepaid? I'm paying $45 per month for 1GB data and unlimited talk & text, coverage is the same as it was with my last CDMA straight talk phone.
Made the mistake of buying two Verizon Moto G's
Sounds like I should have bought one and one boost, or maybe the U.S. cel ver.
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.

I have a Moto G, and I just ordered an unlock code from CellUnlocker.net for it ... but they haven't been able to get me a code.
I believe the original carrier was either Bell, or Virgin, because it works with both of these carriers and no others.
Is there a definitive way of finding out who the original carrier is? There are no indications on the box, and it's using the stock US-en Retail firmware.
Thanks!
What moto g is it? Xt?

I took a picture of the Moto G's box label for insurance purposes and can tell you where to look.
Mine came from Koodo, a Telus subsidiary, which also sells the 8GB XT1032 like Bell and VMC do. Also worth mentioning, Wind and Videotron sell the 16GB XT1034.
00314NATLS is the one way to tell it came from either Telus or Koodo. I expect Bell and VMC to have another code accordingly.
Is it possible to switch either of these phones

http://www.amazon.com/Moto-Verizon-Prepaid-Phone-Only/dp/B00HPP3QD6
to Straight Talk Wireless? I know switching them to Republic or a few other CDMA-based networks won't work, but since Straight Talk has a Bring-Your-Own-Phone option, is there any way to switch it over to them? Rooting/flashing custom stuff is fine, as I will likely flash either CM or AOSP soon after I get it.
Thank you so much!

I read somewhere that flashing to straight talk is illegal and im the one who tested the republic wirless firmware .
use neither
I have Boost and called them yesterday about getting a carrier unlock code for the Moto G and they acted like they had no clue what so ever about what a carrier unlock code is and since motorola told me the phone is locked to boost then using it on ST will probably not happen. Verizon is probably just as bad about locking the phone to their network and refusing to give out the code. Now you may be able to get a unlock key from some one online which was what Motorola also was one of my options. Now with that being said ST does have a GSM version of the Moto G and you may just want to check into that.

Verizon currently has all devices esn on their network kind of blacklisted. If you attempt to flash to page plus you will receive an error saying esn isnt clean. After 6 months of service verizon releases you form the black list, so i guess after 6 months the moto g can be flashed to companies that accept BYOP.
Short story GF needs a new phone been eyeing the moto g for a while. And cricket does have a moto g through there website but one thing is the internal memory is 8GBs ,happens to be the only model crickets offers. which is clearly not enough for a app heavy user. GPE has a 16GB version on googleplay perfect size. Just needed some help confirming GPE model will work with Cricket USA. (Any limits like 3G only or LTE capable from the bands provided by google on their playstore and whatever cricket bands are.)
Also stupid question cricket use sim? (I try not to ask gf cause she will beat me knowing I'm getting her a new phone and asking that question would be dead give away)
Thanks alot

From what I understand, Cricket is an AT&T MVNO and will use sim cards, along with the AT&T towers. Also the version of the Moto G on the Google Play store is the European one, no idea why they would do that, but that means no 3G in the U.S. I'd suggest either getting the phone through Amazon, or from Motorola themselves, as they do carry it for sale directly.

If I buy from amazon which version model should I get the Global GSM(amazon references that model working with att so cricket is a safe bet if I'm correct just wanna make sure) or US GSM?
