Philippines and Moto G

[Hawnz]

Does anyone in the Philippines have a Moto G? Just seeing if the US Global version will work there. Want to buy one for as a door prize for a company party.

What network bands are used there?

I don't know. I live in the USA. Half of my fellow workers are from there.

Pick which one suits the Philippines networks the best.

Search on eBay for reputable unlock codes. You can check them here as well. Payment is via PayPal, there are some forums you can buy credits from here in the Philippines if you don't have a credit card. They'll meet up with you just like any other transaction so you can be safe. They'll make the transaction and check your balance before you hand over the cash. Google is your friend.

..or just acquire a Moto G that isn't locked.
