[Q] Usable here in Europe?

I know this device is US only (lucky you!) but I live in The Netherlands and want one. So I am thinking about buying one on Ebay. I am not familiar with US bands so my question is: Does it matter which one I buy, are they all usable here in Europe?
Thanx!

Who is your carrier?
I havent seen an official specs sheet specifying the bands that the X operates on but its safe to assume that you would need a T-Mobile variant of the phone as it will support the 2100 band that carriers use for 3g in Europe. An AT&T version should work, but 3g is no guarantee since AT&T doesnt operate on the 2100 band. Any GSM version sold stateside would pick up EDGE regardless.

The Moto X will work in Europe up to HSPA+ speeds since the device supports 2100mhz.

I have imported AT&T and Verizon devices to the UK before (the LG Optimus G Pro and the Droid DNA) and both phones connected to HSPA+ on EE. The only thing that wont work is LTE since the bands are incompatible. I will be importing an AT&T customised Moto X to the UK soon hopefully.

Perhaps try the international one (such as the model here in Canada), being international maybe it would have more bands accessible to it.

The rogers one have 2600 mhz lte band... And is 900/2100 umts... Will work in europe for sure

I am hoping to find someone that will send one to UK for me.

If import a Moto X to UK, how much will the tax be? I''ll study in UK during the next two years and I hope I could use this phone.
Thank you.

Customs will be around 20%. If your very lucky then it will go through unnoticed.

Which Moto X to use abroad?

I am going to buy a Moto X in the US and use it abroad. May I get some suggestion about which version to buy other than the Dev Ed because I managed to get a promotion code which can only be used for MotoMaker ones.
Is there any version that is unlocked for sim cards other than the carrier indicated?
which version is easier to root and unlock the BL of Moto X?
Thank you very much.

Thanks alot.

I'm going to Mexico in January and I have the Verizon Dev edition; as far as I know, it has the same internals as the standard moto x, only the bootloader being unlockable is different. It's my understanding that Verzion phones come carrier unlocked, and the new ones (including the x) have gsm bands as well as cdma and LTE bands. My mexican (telcel) sim card shipped today so I should find out soon. These are the bands included in the verizon moto x:
Network: LTE, CDMA/1xEVDO Rev. A (800/1900 MHz)
LTE B13/4 700/1700
Global Network: EDGE/GSM (850/900/1800/1900), HSPA/UMTS( 850/900/1900/2100), HSDPA 42.2 Mbps (Category 20), HSUPA 5.76 Mbps
As long as your overseas carrier offers one of those you should be fine. Also, if you're about to buy, I'd hold off for a week if you can. I hear wood backs are coming to moto maker.

Have you confirmed if it worked or not? I am thinking of sending a few to Honduras to run on Claro and it looks like they should be able to get nano sims there since Claro offers the iPhone 5S. They currently all have Droid 3 phones.

I've got an ATT Moto X, proparly unlocked; works fine in Europe, w/o any issues! Few ATT spamware (phonebook, backup) disabled, everything else is just fine pure Android experience. Got mine from Ebay.

Best to get the T-Mobile Moto X. Why is because it comes unlocked for GSM networks right out of the box and furthermore, it doesn't even have a carrier logo on the back.
I got one and its happily working fine in Malaysia with no network issues.

I believe the T-Mobile one is the best global solution as xylencia mentioned, it comes carrier unlocked (not bootloader unlocked, as some confuse the difference). I just took my moto to Canada and got a nano Sim from telus, paid $30 for a month and its working great.
I moved away from Verizon because their phones don't work on any other network (unless things have changed recently)

Verizon LTE devices come sim unlocked for GSM carriers. It's part of an agreement with the FCC. You can use it stateside and globally.

T-Mobile or the Dev gsm is best for travel other than for Korea and Japan and even then you will have 3g

Cool. Moreover, I actually used LiveChat with a Motorola rep and she confirmed that only T-Mobile's version comes carrier unlocked out of the box. Even though NO CONTRACT options are also available with the other carriers.

Correct me if I am wrong, Europe uses 4G band 7 right? Which GSM Dev Moto X doesn't support.

That sucks. I am pretty sure T-Mobile S4 had band 7... ..I checked Nexus 5 also doesn't have it.

Well if u really need LTE on 2600, just buy the ATT version and have it unlocked by a third party. Probably cost u something like ten bucks.

Now is not the only model at the moment. European Moto X (I don't know model number yet) supports band 7 too

[Q] Buying this phone in a few hours. Need last minute help!!

So I'm about to go and meetup with someone to buy this phone, but I just realized there are a ton of different variants. I'm just finding out that her phone is locked to Rogers so it's probably the XT1058 that she has. My question is: Is there a way to get this phone and specific model to work on Wind Mobile (or Tmobile's 3g network)? The band for Wind Mobile is AWS 1700.

personally i wouldnt mess with trying to switch carriers with the phone.

The Rogers phone can be carrier unlocked. I have one, it's unlocked and working on telus, lte and all.
But, better do some searching, cause I thought I read somewhere that it won't work on wind. Maybe I'm wrong, but better look into it or you may be disappointed.

It works fine on wind. Had to sim unlock it, but that was it

OP, based on the replies here, if you have yet to go through with the purchase, be sure to read up on the complications of unlocking the device for other carriers before making the decision that this phone is for you.

A Rogers XT1058 will not work on Wind, it does not support HSPA on the 1700/2100 Mhz frequency band.
To the OP, you need an XT1053 model of the Moto X to use it with Wind Mobile.
The XT1053 is not sold in Canada, it is sold in the US as the retail/tmobile/gsm dev edition.
Unlocking a Rogers XT1058 is easy and less then 10 bucks but it still won't enable the AWS bands for HSPA. It will only work on Telus, Koodo, Bell, Virgin, Rogers and Fido.

Yup ^^^
That's about what I read. And most unlocked phones I looked at before buying my Moto X said work on all carriers.. Except wind. Not just the Moto x either... The G2 was another for sure.

[Q] Non Contract 399$ Moto X will work outside US (GSM)

Hi
I have ordered Moto x through my friend in US and i am planning to use in India with GSM network
I have confirmed with Motorola help desk and they confirmed saying it will work with International GSM providers.
Is anyone using it now, buying non contract 399$ phone and using it in India or outside US?

Me along with many other forumers that post around here. Using mines all good in The Bahamas. You will be fine.
Sent from my Moto X

It's all about the frequencies that your country/carrier use.
Isn't it a little late to ask this question now when you already have bought the phone?

There are many different Moto X models. Not all can be used internationally. In addition you might need to buy SIM unlock code

Thanks a lot for your replies
I have purchased the unlocked one only

Anyone using in India?

Get the T-Mobile version, it supports the most frequencies, and it's carrier unlocked. That's your best bet.
If you want to make sure, here are the MotoX variants, you can compare the bands they use to your carriers used bands.

Actually the AT&T version supports the most LTE Bands. Though it's downfall is its carrier locked and comes with AT&T bloat and branding on the back. But unlock codes can be purchased for it though.

[Q] Moto X XT1058 is it usable in europe?

Hello
My friend spoted on ebay that the Moto X Xt1058 is in good price 280$ (at least for me this is good price - I would prefere a version from moto maker but its to expensive)
Will this version work properly in Poland with my GSM provieder?
The bands of my GSM provider are:
"PLAY" uses EGSM 900 for its 2G services and UMTS 2100 and UMTS 900 for 3G.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Play_(telecommunications)
Play - LTE 1800 MHz
thanks for support

It will work but LTE is probably not going to work

All XT1058 Variants support ALL the GSM & UMTS bands you have listed.
If possible, don't get the AT&T version because you cannot unlock the bootloader, and it comes SIM-locked. If you can get the Rogers Canada version or pretty much ANY other XT1058 you should be able to unlock the bootloader and AFAIK all the variants except AT&T come sim-unlocked...
Good Luck

Thanks for the tip. Root and loading mods is very important to me.
Now the moto x is still the flagship. But soon we will have the succesor. Do you Think it will supported in 1-2 years?

I use an xt1058 (att version) for more than a year in the Netherlands (and the rest of Europe); never had any issues with it, even 4g works as charm.

Thanks for the comment bmszabo. Are you the original owner? Likely someone (yourself even?) had it sim-unlocked....or are the AT&T variants already sim-unlocked for international use? I know for certain that the Sprint XT1056 variants are SIM-locked for both domestic AND international.
As for the bootloader, unless you used the China Middleman, it should still be locked down.

It was an eBay bargain; sim-unlocked ATT Moto X; don't know HOW it was unlocked, but it works just perfect with my Dutch provider (and any other European carriers). In US workes fine with ATT; only thing, but only if I am in the US is a nag message about 'unable to sign in to ATT', or something similar..

What about the version with "bad ESN" ?
Is it only blocked for US or also for europe ?

It will depend entirely on whether or not AT&T adds blacklisted IMEIs to the international banned list. Can someone comment on whether or not this data is shared internationally?
