Hi there guys!
I've bought a Moto G5 model XT1676 a few days ago, and it doesn't work with LTE connectivity on my country (Argentina)
I've asked the carrier about it, and they told me that my mobile does not work on the same frequencies of LTE antennas.
I knew that on some mobiles you could "unlock" this unsupported frequencies, could it be possible on Moto G5?
Thanks!

Hello,
My sister lives in Canada and is on the wind network, which uses the AWS frequency. I found out that the Moto G US GSm version will be compatible with Wind Canada (since it supports AWS).
I wanted to buy this as a gift for her birthday so I ordered the 16GB US GSM Moto G from amazon usa and posted it to her via UPS. She got it today but is having difficulty setting up internet, I mean it is supposed to "just work" right?
So I fear that maybe amazon has sent me the Global GSM by mistake.
is there anyway I can identify the phone? I mean will the about section in settings be able to tell me if its US GSM or global GSM?
Thank you
You can tell by the model number:
XT1032 Global GSM
XT1034 US GSM (T-Mobile)
If she gets Wind Home coverage, calls and texts, she's got AWS HSPA signal and the right model. Getting the internet to work from there is probably just a matter of checking APN settings.
hi all. i recently purchased the dual sim version of the moto g in hong kong from an anthorize dealer with the model number xt1033. according to the motorola hong kong website, the dual sim xt1033 has the 3G 1700 AWS freq which wind mobile uses. for the past month i could not get the phone to work with wind mobile, but it works fine with rogers and bell in 3G. is there a workaround so that i can enable the 1700 AWS freq? thanks.

Short answer, no. I have been trying. It seems like there was at one point, Motorola advertising the dual sim model to have AWS for SIM1 but does not look like it is true.
Hi guys,
I have been searching for it but I wasn't quite successful. Here my question and the facts:
I bought the XT1040 in Colombia, hoping LTE would work out fine in Europe as well. As I figured out later, the European versione (XT1039) is the only one which would be working on the LTE bands here.
Is there any way to sort of unlock my XT1040 or to make it work with other LTE bands? According to the box it works with bands 4 and 7. I need for cities in Germany band 20. Is there a way to make that happen or should I save money for a new one? Interestingly, HSDPA+ does work.
Thanks in advance!
After owning a dual-sim Moto G2, I knew I wanted a G3 with dual sims and 2GB RAM (16GB ROM). Unfortunately this isn't available in the UK so I bought one from eBay which came from a seller in India.
I don't NEED 4G as I have a mobile hotspot which works very well, but I don't take this everywhere with me. Is it possible to flash the modem or something to get 4G in the UK using this model?
Thanks,
Marc

This isn't just a modem thing, flashing a different modem will not enable the missing bands, that "feature" is buried deep in a secure partition of the device... And since there isn't a dual SIM 4G 16GB model in your country, until someone figures out how to unlock all the LTE bands in the device, there is no way to enable this at this time.

Thanks, I thought it was a long shot. I wasn't sure of the correct terms but I've just searched for "unlock lte bands" and it seems to have been done for some models, fingers crossed someone figures it out for the G3!
Cheers

Really?!? Wow maybe I can get this working then. A Wikipedia page (I can't post links just yet) says that India has 2300MHz (band 40) 4G frequency, whereas UK has 800, 1800 and 2600MHz according to a PC Advisor link which I also can't post
I'm on O2 (both sims - I know, a bit daft but that's what I've got) and I've confirmed 4G is enabled on both sims. I guess the frequency that India don't use, is the 800MHz one that O2 uses, yes? Sods law if so. But I'll be porting my number to another network ASAP if that is right..
Thanks
Hello to the community!
I found some interesting V50 that are available for selling on ebay,and they are advertised as "open box".
After a communication with one of these sellers,he stated that the V50 he is selling,are completely new,not used,just opened in order to unlock them from Sprint carrier.
He also said that these phones can not be used to the USA,but only in other countries worldwide,including Europe where i live..they are GSM unlocked he said.
My question is why are not working in USA?
Will i face any connectivity issues with LTE or 5G when it will be available in my country?
