just a simple question..i tried to find it on here, yet cant. i am seriously thinking of getting a droid x , i currently have a flashed htc touch hd (awesome!!) i am in the army and getting stationed overseas in japan. now the droid x is a cdma phone and there is cdma service in japan. my question is if i get the droid x and root it , is there a way to use the service in japan? if so how?
It's up to the carrier if they can add a meid
They probably will though since the US is the only place in the world that goes out of their way to restrict what people can do with their phones or where they can use them.

Hello Everyone, I am using Moto G4 Plus (XT1643) with JIO 4G SIM. It is on LTE data but VoLTE box is not appearing in status bar. I have to use JIO4GVoice App to place call and receive call and I have to enable data all the time to call or sending sms that causing battery draining. When my phone natively supports VoLTE then why should I use 3rd party app. Please help me. Thanks.
Jio SIM is not supported on Moto g4 plus. You won't get network.

Bro I am using JIO SIM on G4 Plus I got the SIM by showing barcode generated on G4 Plus I am using Data as LTE and can place call and receive call from JioJoin/Jio4G Voice App. Network is showing. And why did u say its not supported???? Even Motorola Forum Moto Agent does say it supports VoLTE on JIO.
That's because I don't get it and that's what the reliance guy here told me. If you got it, good for you. I just shared my experience.

Tell that reliance guy that Moto is on the Welcome Offer since Sept. 5 and it is a 4G phone as well as VoLTE phone.
I have jiofi and got the SIM a lot earlier. So no issues. Just need to carry my jiofi with me where ever I go.
On second thoughts, maybe it depends on how you get the SIM. You used the barcode generated on your Moto G4 to get the SIM. I got it using the preview offer by buying a jiofi. They might be blocking services based on that. Just a wild guess.
I can make volte calls using jiofi. That you already know I guess.

Lol i'm using jio sim from 1.5 months in moto g4 plus!
It supports VoLTE & you doesn't need any app for calling...!
And also you have to be on stock rom for VoLTE support... because as of now no rom supports VoLTE...if you flash custom rom then you have to use jio 4g voice call for calling...!?
Moto G4 plus supports VoLTE natively

Check if VoLTE is turned ON in your device, By going to Settings -> More -> Mobile network Settings -> Enhanced 4G LTE mode
See the Attached Screenshot.

Jio operates on LTE 3,5 and 40 Bands. Moto G4 Plus supports all the 3 bands.
Technically Moto G4 plus supports, but what Reliance Tech guy meant was that Mobiles from Moto was not under Reliance Preview Offer (back then).
But as of 5th of September, Moto mobiles got added. In fact all phones that support 4G (irrespective of Brands) are added under Reliance Welcome Offer.
Also, the SIM you get with JioFi won't work with any 4G devices (not just Moto G4), because it is locked with the JioFi's MAC address.
I'm using Moto G4 with Jio 4G sim since the day it was delivered to me (next day to the launch). I bought it for the same purpose as I had to use JioJoin in my existing Nexus 5 and missing TD Band40(2300MHz).
It works very well and supports all bands as said above by @manubhargav
1. You need to keep the sim in slot 1 to use VoLTE (LTE only can be used in slot 2 also)
2. You will get "Enhanced 4G/LTE Mode" in "Cellular networks" settings in More network settings, this is VoLTE, you need to check this.
If you still don't get VoLTE, let me know.
Edit: @arkadeep2008 I just realized, you asked Moto G4 Plus (XT1043) -- both are different things. Moto G4 Plus should be XT1643, or if you have XT1043, it's G3 instead. Hope that helps.
I knew something was not right. I am not nuts afterall, lol!!!

Your JioFi sim will not work as it is locked to the device, even if you get the network, it will show a network sign-in page and ultimately a "Limit Exhausted" message in the page. This applies to the SIMs activated with LYF phones too. Though, it was said that they will unlock the SIM after preview offer, but seems welcome offer is the continuation for the same.
SIM with Preview Offer from any other handset (Samsung/Moto/etc) would work on any LTE/VoLTE phones.
So it does depend on how you get your jio SIM.

It is selected, and it is in SIM 1. Still no VoLTE box. Tapping on "Turn off VoLTE Provisioned Flag" does nothing.
My experience (with other carriers) is that it depends how the SIM gets provisioned. I had a SIM from T-Mobile for my unlocked phone and that worked in any phone. But when I tried a SIM that came in one of their locked phones, it didn't work in my unlocked phone. Even if that phone got eventually unlocked, the SIM was still unusable in any other phone.
Also the Enhanced LTE option appears only when a VoLTE provisioned sim is inserted.
As per the info on:
https://www.frequencycheck.com/models/G9Yb2/motorola-moto-g4-plus-dual-sim-lte-32gb-xt1643, the g4 plus should support band 40, which is what gets the VoLTE working.
However, while checking the inbuilt Motorola program menu LTE test settings on my XT1643 the bands listed under LTE Band Selection were: 1,3,5,8. All of which was perfect had it not been for my carrier officially only running FDD bands 3 and 5, so it may not be that Band selection menu corresponded to my CARRIER'S available bands AND NOT the phone's.
I am yet to test my other carrier's sim, which offers VoLTE calling and officially runs band 40 and bands 3 and 5.
Given there haven't been any accounts on here about successful VOLTE connectivity with compatible carriers, it's probably best to wait before drawing any inference.

I called the JIO customer care. They told me that maybe its my phone's firmware glitch, kindly wait for next firmware or software update it will get fixed. So my question is I don't like this recent July patch along with stability improvement update. If I want to go back to previous build how do I do that?? Can anyone tell??

Make sure by putting the sim in a already working VoLTE phone and go to the service center, as all other G4 Plus are known to be working.

I am wondering latest OTA update ruined the VOLTE, is there any way I can go back to previous build w/o voiding warranty??
If you buy it from the online Motorola store is it already unlocked, and is unlocking the phone from Verizon fairly easy?
I ask because i am looking on craigslist about the phone and some people don't know or know how to unlock the phone.
To clarify things up, all phones sold by Verizon are worldwide GSM compatible now but you still need to check the baseband whether your country's telco support the related bands.
If you use your phone outside of US, you do not have to worry about Verizon not letting you popping in another sim card.
Please do not confuse with the term unlock as it may refer to the bootloader. Basically the Moto Z Force droid's bootloader cannot be unlocked, but you shouldnt worry about that as it does not affect you in your current situation
The moto z force and play are both factory unlocked. I'm using mine on T-Mobile and it works no issues. I didn't even have to edit the APN's for MMS and data. It just works.

Good evening, I'm ITALIAN and i would like to buy a motorola X force to run it in EUROPE and especially in ITALY. I noticed that on ebay.com there are many phones used with UNLOCKED, and many with the word BLOCKED. Many phones are used and no battery charging box (most used ones) and others are new at good prices. I would like to know if VERIZON has two motor models z force one locked and one no. Then I would like to know if the phone at this link: h t t p : / / w w w . e b a y . c o m / i t m / M o t o r o l a - M o t o - Z - F o r c e - D r o i d - F o r c e - D r o i d - 3 2 G B - W h i t e - F i n e - G o l d - V e r i z o n - / 2 0 1 9 5 2 2 7 5 2 4 6 ?
(You have to remove the spaces because XDA does not put me in the links)
could work in Italy without any problems (with the bands it has the phone, even if the phone lacks the 20 LTE Italian band). I thank you in advance.
My moto z force did not work at all in Italy, either in Rome or Naples.
Anybody knows if this phone comes unlocked for US or does Verizon need to unlock it?
Thanks!

Hi ,
I bought moto g5 plus in india. Now i moved to US and using ultra prepaid services. Signals are coming and going(not stable). Calls are getting disconnected in between due to loss in signal. Sim is working fine on moto g 1st gen which i also bought from india 3 years ago. I did factory reset. Will the basic calling and 3g internet work ? sometimes signal is getting detected it is displaying as E(edge) not LTE. also tell about 4G LTE ? Motorola US also not considering as it is bought in india. What to do in this case ? Please suggest. I will be happy if the basic calling and 3g works
You can go to your service providers and ask them whats going on
what carrier are you using in the US?
Tmo heavily uses 1700 around me, and the Indian variant doesn't support it, but it will fall back to 2100, which is support. 2G/Voice should be support though.
something else I would be curious to know is if you have roaming enabled on your device?
Hello,
I am using my Moto X (XT1049) as a back up phone on AT&T network. Now AT&T will shut down its 3G service in February 2022.
Would I be able to use Moto X on AT&T net work after Feb 2022?
As of now, I can only use voice calls using 3G and I cannot use LTE/4G to make calls which probably due to limited LTE band support on Moto X (XT104) for AT&T. So my guess is that my Moto X would be useless starting Feb 2022.
Any thoughts?

My guess is that it will stop working.
Unless it's a limit of the current software channel it's on?
Do you know which model # it is?
XT1058 was the AT&T model
You can check in bootloader mode with
Code:
fastboot getvar sku
