Locked or Unlocked Smartphone? #1
Hey guys,

I was wondering what you guys used. I have a carrier locked Moto X Play from Vodafone UK. What about you all?

Have you carrier unlocked your device?

My phone came carrier unlocked by TextNow, and it runs on Sprint, except my firmware only works with Sprint-TextNow so yea.

TextNow seems quite popular these days. On my old phone, Galaxy S3, I couldn't properly unlock it. Had to end up flashing a custom rom.

xDD. Yea. The thing about TextNow, is that while its okay on WiFi, unless you are in a spotless reception area (unlike me), you will get crazy cut offs and stuff. Basically, my parents are pressuring me to move to MetroPCS...but even the name (let alone the service) is just so bad and cheap that I'm not willing to do it. For the prices TextNow offers, and the fact that I can pretty much get a new phone at my convenience for like no cost, I'm gonna stick with TextNow.

My cell phone Is locked by the carrier, and the reason why I haven't unlocked It, Is because I plan to stick with the carrier.

The deal Is amazing, one that's not available with any other carrier In my locality.

When I can buy direct, I will. But, as I've mentioned before. I'm super broke.

You can look on the carrier website about unlocking.
