Ordering a Moto G 2015 US edition? I need your help! - Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, if you are ordering a Moto G 2015 US edition (XT1540 / Single-SIM), then I could really use your help!
I'd like to upgrade to the 2015 edition (I have the 2014 edition Boost Mobile version), but I use the Freedompop network. All I need to know is if their system will accept the phone, it will take you < 5 minutes:
- Visit this URL: https://www.freedompop.com/byod
- Enter zip code: 85041
- Enter an email address (AFAIK they don't email you)
- Enter address: 1499 W Roeser Rd
- Enter MEID of your 2015 Moto G (it won't do anything, it'll just check eligibility)
It will say whether it is eligable for FreedomPop service or not -- that's all I need to know so I can purchase one! I would appreciate it more than you can imagine!
(hope this is the right area, I'm kinda new to these forums -- but a long-time lurker)

Um, the CDMA version of the Moto G isn't out yet. The GSM one is, but even if someone put in their IMEI, it's an unlocked phone that doesn't support CDMA, and doesn't have the bands Sprint uses for LTE, so it might not be the best test case. You'll need to wait for a Sprint or Virgin Mobile Moto G to come out.

[Q] Moto g on sprint

I'm looking to get my mom on a framily group on sprint but when I went to look at the phones available I didn't see the moto g. This would be the perfect phone for her because she wont be doing much on it. Anyone know if there is a moto g compatible with the sprint network. I guess my next question would be is there anything like the moto g(droid mini, razr i) that would work on the sprint network.

Republic Wireless Update!!!

Today republic sent me an email stating that their plan for reactivation's is complete and you can now reactivate Republic phones, the best part: NO Reactivation fee!!!
Also Moto G is coming on 4/17 and starts at $149
Addition to post: Defy XT, Moto X, and any future Republic phone can be reactivated. The LG Optimus S is NOT included in reactivation's and therefore is a one time use only phone.

Calling all DEVs Moto G CDMA (XT1028/31) variants CM12 issues

Hey guys & gals,
The CM Team started nightlies for the Moto G 1st gen (falcon) a while back and as before they were supposed to have multivariant support(to include XT1028/31). However this time the CDMA devices only have incoming calls and text and no data. We've posted in the official thread here to let the OP know of the issues and to let the maintainer for the falcon devices know. But there haven't been any official replies/announcements. So some of the code junkies who own the CDMA variants started a dedicated thread. You can find the thread here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3036120
The thread contains all logs, attempted fixes and theories to date. Any help or guidance would be appreciated. Thanks in advance for your consideration.
Regards,
Chris

CDMA (Prepaid) is dead in the developing world. Just get gsm or gsm/cdma devices. I agree its absolutely ridiculous but its just how it is. I owned the boost moto g and ended up breaking it (hucked it across a room and onto the floor). but while i had it i told myself... look.. look at all these prepaid cdma devices. they are so cheap and plentiful but devs just dont like them.. i guess i will have to conform. Then i got a Moto G 2014 through consumer cellular.. It seems to be evened out in the non prepaid areas (cdma to gsm) but sprint prepaid mini companies just dont attract the attention that big guys like sprint, att, us cellular, and verizon do.
The short and simple. Buy a new phone (Unless you want to delve into development and work your brain out.. ALOT)

@CurbThePain Thanks for the post but...I'm already well into theming and development...I guess this news goes along with the coming Easter holiday because if CDMA development is dead then the Moto G just was resurrected, the CDMA data issue is solved for the Moto G CM12 as of this afternoon the code is being cleaned up as we speak. Not to mention the official soak test is well underway with an official 5.0.2 rom in the wild. I have a Nexus 5 and a Moto X 2nd Gen on T-Mobile, you shouldn't assume people just have one phone. ... I use my Boost phone for work so if I'm on a roof and it drops it won't cause a fit of rage or thoughts of suicide. Not to mention 45 bucks for 5GB of high-speed data on an MVNO subsidiary isn't bad. CDMA will be around till at least 2020 according to most articles released by the primary CDMA carriers.
Mods feel free to close this thread. Mission accomplished!

Wow...that's strange its one of the most developed for devices around. The 1st gen has official support for CM, AOSPA, PAC, Slim, Dirty Unicorns and almost all the major after market roms CDMA included. Has support for CWM standard and swipe, TWRP and Philz...I've actually enjoyed it.

does the prepaid (VZW) Moto G have roms?

hey guys, i need a new device to play with and i was thinking of buying a prepaid moto g off amazon, specifically this link here
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HPP3QD6/ref=olp_product_details?_encoding=UTF8&me=
question is, i remember when it came that this device didnt get much support or roms and such, i think the model number for the prepaid verizon version is XT1028. does it have support for roms for me to tinker with?

Weirdness, a (claimed) Verizon branded XT1540

I was looking at a local ad (listed only as a verizon motorolla phone) and asked the owner for some of entries in the "about phone". This is what I got;
“Model number moto g ( 3rd generation ) android 6.0”
“Build number mpi24.65-25.1”
“Sku xt1540”
“Version p2b”
“Ram size 2.00 gb”
“Serial number zy2237n329”
The pic shows verizon service (LTE) and it has a top speaker that could be 3rd gen, or it might be 2nd gen since I can't compare it to the bottom speaker (pic's bottom is cut off).
I'v emailed about the imei and maybe a swappa check can give me some additional info on the model number. Willmyphonework doesn't have any verizon compatible model listed and they seem pretty up to date to me.
The seller doesn't seem tech savvy at all, and does seem legit/trustworthy. Buuuuuuut, everything I'v seen contradicts the existence of a verizon version. Straight up scam? Did a few 3rd gens squeak out of verizon before just before the 4th gen release? Or ??
Any insight would be appreciated, as a trip to check it out is over a mountain range, and I'd rather not waste the time if it's an impossibility.
some extraneous info removed
Xt1540 is international, unlocked gsm, any sim will work, same device i have, get it, you'll love it

I think OP is concerned with the Verizon piece here... Verizon is a closed network CDMA carrier, their branded handsets are extremely locked down. From what we have seen there is no Verizon variant of the Moto G 2015 and it is incompatible with their network, bringing the sale post the OP is refering to into question of legitimacy. To my knowledge the only Verizon compatible Moto G models are the original Moto G (XT1028 variant) and the new Moto G4 series.
Also, the XT1540 is the North American variant, not "international"... there is no all encompassing "international" version, all Moto models are region specific. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moto_G_(3rd_generation)#Variants
