Will the Moto X Style/Moto X Pure Edition work on Verizon? (YES)

Re: Moto X on Verizon

I just had a problem with my Turbo that Verizon wanted nothing to do with so I had to call Motorola anyway so I don't see that as a big deal. You take a device in the store and most of the time they tell you to call OEM.

For phone issues, I usually call in. Never had a problem getting a phone replaced over the phone

It is pretty likely that it will. But I haven't seen anything that says one way or the other

Re: Moto X on Verizon

Hopefully Verizon will eliminate 2 year contracts entirely at some point this year and launch new plans with the discount built in. That would at least resolve the problem but we will have to wait and see.

I wouldn't hold your breath on that ... this buying unlocked phone thing is for Android enthusiasts like us, which make up probably less than 5% of the general public. plans with discounts aren't happening, and 2 years plans are definitely not going away, not even close

Re: Moto X Style on Verizon

If you are doing a BYOD, why does anyone think they should get the $15/25 discounts, that is intended for Verizon's Edge program, same as AT&T's Next you don't get a discount unless you are on the program which ties you to them through a hardware contract that if you leave you pay off the balance. Easier and cleaner for them.

I get a $15 discount on VZ, own my S4 outright.

Correct. Currently Verizon allows off contract to have the 15/25 discount. Previously, it did not.

Depending on the previous plan though, right?

I believe that it is applicable to the more everything plan and legacy share everything plans only. Older plans like the one with unlimited data do not get a discount for being off contract. Kinda Verizon's way of nudging people to a current plan. And really for the vast majority of people, unless you care about UDP, you should be on a current plan.


But also the off contract discount didn't start until more recently on April 17,2014, after the MEP was introduced.
Verizon to give discounts to customers with off-contract phones http://www.androidcentral.com/verizon-give-discounts-customers-contract-phones

Re: Moto X on Verizon

They give a discount for off contract on Verizon certified phones. If the phone isn't certified like the n6 at launch then it probably would not qualify for the 15/25 off contract discount

All you had to do was call.

I wonder if Hot Spot and Screen Mirroring will work on the Pure.

Moto X Style - Advanced Calling on Verizon??

I have the 2014 Moto X and the thing I'm most upset about is the lack of advanced calling (no simultaneous voice and data in particular!!!). I was promised by the Verizon clowns that it would be turned on within a month or two and here we are 9 months later and nothing! Has anyone heard anything one way or another about whether the new Moto X Style will have advanced calling turned on from the beginning?

Re: Moto X Style - Advanced Calling on Verizon??

I don't think we will know until closer to release but I am having a hard time being optimistic as if any part of it requires Verizon to do something on their end makes chances of it being included on an unlocked carrier free device slim to none.

Re: Moto X Style - Advanced Calling on Verizon??

I'm about to switch to AT&T. Their 4G LTE is faster. Plans are cheaper. They get better phones. (I still have unlimited data so this is a tough choice for me)

I am in a similar boat. I have a grandfathered unlimited plan but only really use 3-4GB of data per month. Verizon's network in Houston is having regular congestion issues while both AT&T and T-Mobile have improved greatly in the past year. I have pretty much decided whatever phone I get next will be multi-carrier (either the Moto X or new Nexus) and will make a decision within the next few months.

Re: Moto X Style - Advanced Calling on Verizon??

That does suck. I wouldn't give up unlimited though since I actually use a bit. If you're comfortable with a limited one and it will save you cash in the long run it may be an option.

If AT&T offered a promo to switch (ie pay any fees, etc), I'd move over myself.

Re: Moto X Style - Advanced Calling on Verizon??

they are offering $300 plus $200 for any smart phone you trade in...

Re: Moto X Style - Advanced Calling on Verizon??

Plus they have rollover data

Re: Moto X Style - Advanced Calling on Verizon??

Advanced Calling is available on the Nexus 6 on verizon thanks to the built in settings in android 5.1 (where it is called "Enhanced 4G mode"). I would expect the MXPE to work the same way since it is absent any carrier software.

I dont know what the heck happened with the 2014 Moto X. As far as I know it is the only modern phone without simultaneous voice + data on Verizon.

It's the only modern smart phone on ANY carrier without simultaneous Voice and Data!!!
