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!

Anyone??
I had my DX in Dehli and Pune less than a month ago. It had a good signal everywhere and I used it a lot for texting. I was actually surprised at how will it worked. The radio is compatible at least. There are methods to unlock from VZ kicking around as well but you'll have to dig them out. A DX will only work on tata indicom since it is a CDMA phone.
Sorry, but I didn't look to see what network I was roaming on since I purchased a pre-paid Aircel SIM for local calling purposes and used it in one of my older WM phones.

dude check on ebay reliance version is available
Most of Verizon's world phones are SIM locked, and you either have to get it unlocked, or use Verizon's SIM card. I figured it would be the same for this phone. However, I read somewhere that the pre-release version is unlocked out of the box. I'm guessing by pre-release, they mean the one that was given to the press at the launch event.
Anybody know if all the Ms are unlocked from the factory? Specifically, what I'm after is to find out if they can be used on AT&T or T-Mobile in the US without any modifications. The earlier Motorola world phones needed modifications to do so, but it's worth a shot to see if this maybe is different. Just being generally unlocked saves a step, too, but if someone can provide the information on whether it is unlocked for US bands, that would be great.
I can confirm it does not allow calls using a US T-Mobile SIM. It does show the voicemail indicator and my t-mo # correctly in settings, but I think its just reading that from the SIM card itself.
Doesn't verizon unlock after 90 days good standing? I know for iPhones they do. Might be something I'll try in a few months.

Thanks for the info! I'm not sure if that is the typical behavior or not. I forgot what my Droid Pro did before I unlocked it.
Verizon usually does unlock it if you've been a customer for more than 90 days. They still won't let you use the US networks, though...just international ones. Hopefully P3Droid and his team will work their magic on this one. I know he already ordered a Dev Edition of the M.

It sounds like it is SIM unlocked since it's reading from the T-Mobile SIM at all. I believe all the Razr & Razr Maxx officially come as SIM unlocked from the factory, so I would guess the Razr M would too. It still has the network block for US GSM networks, but that's different than the SIM card.
I'm interested in getting the Razr M to replace my Droid Pro, so if anyone could confirm, that would be great!

That could be, and maybe it's just Verizon's policy these days, considering the iPhone 5 ships unlocked (and the iP5 has no US band lock, either). Hopefully someone can try it with an international SIM when they travel and let us know.
Now that a few people have gotten the Dev version in their hands, any differences on that one as far as the SIM unlock goes? Since Verizon doesn't sell that directly, maybe Motorola left the US bands unlocked on that one.
Is The RAZR M SIM Unlocked From The Factory?
Is there anything new on this?
Sim is Unlocked, it will read any sim but US-Sim seem to be Radio Locked.
Which u can bypass by an Aussie Radio. And then u can use it on T-Mobile or AT&T
I will be able to verify in 1-2 weeks if it will work on an International Sim with out any modification.
Sending my GirlFriend her Razr M to Germany so she can test it on O2.
Yeah, it's unlocked, and you can use it on T-Mobile and AT&T with the Australian radio, but nobody has been able to consistently get 3G on either carrier.
Does anybody test the phone outside of the U.S?
Any word?

I can confim that the razr m is sim unlocked for international use out of the box no modification required. My sister uses one on koodo mobile (canadian service provider) with her koodo sim. When she comes back to the states she pops in the american sim it came with and uses on my verizon plan.

I can confirm that everything works internationally, tried in Italy and Singapore. Also, the network in italy was on the 900 frequency band, so that works for sure, haven't tested 1800 but I don't see why it wouldn't work.
Does it mean that all models of razr m are factory unlocked? I know there are 3 versions of razr m XT905, XT907 and XT902. Just wonder if I can unlock my XT902.
i take it there is nothing stopping the m working outside of usa? has anyone imported a m and how easy was it?
I would recommend you to stick with razr i since i bought razr m on ebay and it is perfectly fine but a lot of non working bloatware and not officially supported. Like everytime you turn on the fone it said sim card was from unknown source..

That should only happen on a RAZR M if you are trying to use a SIM card from a US Carrier - there should be no issues, even with a RAZR M that has a locked boot loader, using a SIM card from Europe or Asia. All the RAZR Ms come carrier unlocked out of the box.

As someone else said, the RAZR i is sold directly in the UK and (assuming its the Retail SIM unlocked model, not the carrier branded one) its bootloader unlockable. Any M you order besides the Verizon Dev Edition is going to have a locked bootloader.
I got one working perfectly in Chile, i just inserted my microSIM, set network mode to GSM/UMTS, configured my APN, and it's working.
The only caveat is that every time you turn on the phone it displays a "SIM card from unknown source" message.
Peace.
The M is going to be released in Australia at the end of this month for an outright price off $600AUD and totally unlocked. Why are you after the M over the I?

I think the RAZR M has much better hardware then the RAZR I ( LTE, Bluetooth 4, Glonass, S-GPS...) for the same price.
Benchmark results + 10-30 %
Thats all.
do you mind me asking which retailer you imported from?
my son was for school exchange in the USA and bought it on amazon wireless.
No shipping ..

Every US carrier should be selling the Moto X unlocked to start with; not sure about overseas (where it's sold). That's a pretty suspicious feedback pattern.

Yes. The VZW Moto X is capable of pentaband GSM with speeds up to HSDPA 42 - or 42 Mbps. Just no LTE outside of Verizon (well, I think it supports one of the T-Mobile bands).
I would like to buy an Z Force. Is it available unlocked now ??? If so can anyone please tell me if its gona work good in middle east... (Bahrain / Saudi)
You need to find out what bands your using and then check it against the phone.
I am in the UAE and using a Z Force Droid from Verizon. It works.
It depends on which network your planning to use on. Some networks you may not get any LTE/4G

Dear all please help me as I am stuck,I bought a Moto z force few months back and the problem is that is don't get any update security patch is of June and every time go for update it shows your phone is updated please early response will be very much appreciated
the USA version for verizon can't be bootloader unlocked but international should be possible to unlock
The force is a Verizon exclusive. To buy a Z unlocked, you have to go with the Z or Z play.
