I thought this phone is already unlocked? Most news or review articles say it is.

If you buy directly from O2, Vodafone or Tesco you will get a sim-locked one. In the UK, phones4u, amazon, clove technology, buy mobiles and unlocked-mobiles are all selling the device unlocked.

There's no tesco branding or apps anywhere except in 'about phone' it says the software version is a tesco build.

It doesn't have any branding, but it does have it's own software version. Easy to change it to the same as the full retail handsets though.
Brilliant service, unlocked my Tesco Moto g within10 mins?
Hi guys, i'm from italy, and i was thinking about buying moto g from tesco, as soon as it becomes available, because of its price (155 euro in UK, 229 euro in Italy -.-"). I've a friend in London who can take it.
I discovered that it's sim-locked, and that is possible to unlock. I didn't know this, but if you say yes, well...ok, perfect.
My question is: if i unlock it, what about the guarantee? Somebody told me i would lose it...is it right?
Thanks.

I bought this phone for my wife and it's working great on virgin mobile after unlocking it. Can you tell me though if there is any advantage in changing it to the software that the sim free phones have? Will it still recieve the KitKat update in January if I don't change it?

Can't see it being an issue, tesco don't change anything. Think it's just a system identifier.

Truth is we don't know yet.
It might be that it doesn't get the KitKat update at the same time as the 'unbranded' one. It also might not. Only way to know is wait.
I've changed the the 'retail' ROM on the one I bought to be safe though.
