So last week I bought a Moto xt1060W on ebay for Verizon. When I got it on Friday I popped in the sim and set up the phone. Not really paying attention I rushed out the door as it was downloading updates on my way to Comicon. When I got there I noticed I had no 4G service or data so I could only send and receive phone calls. I didn't get home til late so I decided to try and resolve it in the morning.
The next day while investigating the cause of no data I discovered that it was indeed NOT a Moto X xt1060 VZW device. It was a Moto X xt1050W made for regional carriers in the Illinois areas (probably thumb). The device has no VZW or other carrier software or branding. It does use same bands as VZW. I contacted the seller who swore up and down he had the device on Verizon for several months with no issues, but had bought the device from a local phone store. I contacted the VZW support and they basically told me that since it wasn't a Verizon phone there was nothing I could do.
.
I was pretty bummed and had started the return procedures through ebay but decided to hold off and look into it for one more day.
After some investigating with the seller we determined the only thing of difference was that the device I bought had different APN settings. So I found some VZW APN settings online and configured the phone. Now it works on VZW with no issues. I looked online and I have found no other case of a non VZW device being allowed to function on their network.
Did I miss something in my searching? If so is it not true that other unlocked phones from the same carriers would work with an APN tweak?
