I have a Moto X I got from Best Buy for Verizon. Can the same Moto X be used on T-Mobile? Its not activated or in use.
I believe it can. I don't think anything special needs to be done to it, meaning, I think all proper radios are in the device.I have a Moto X I got from Best Buy for Verizon. Can the same Moto X be used on T-Mobile? Its not activated or in use.
it should but you will only get edge (2g) speeds unless you are in a reframed area which im not sure which areas are reframed its probably best to be used on straight talk at&t you will get hspa+ speeds
yes t-mobile is gsm as is at&t, sprint and verizon are both cdma
i have an at&t sim from straight talk and a t-mobile sim from t-mobile
at&t = hspa+ (4g) not LTE
t-mobile = edge (2g) unless in a reframed area
What is a reframed area?
I was about to ask almost the opposite: If I get the "T-Mobile" unlocked version to use on AT&T (which I am), would I be able to use it on Verizon and get full coverage if I decided to change? If it has all the CDMA and GSM frequencies why couldn't it be used on any network and get the full 4G/3G coverage of that network?
I would have thought it would be easier to put all the CDMA and GSM frequencies on all the phones instead of having some on one but not another, but I guess not, or maybe it has to do with the contracts with the providers. With the way people switch carriers now especially with all the no contract plans, seems like it should be required that all phones work on CDMA and GSM.
