The same way you requested the first one, let them know if you can cancel the current order and request the new SIM that david279 provided on the screenshot

I was able to do this but i didn't cancel my first order just in case.

Man, what a mission....if it wasnt for that item number, Sprint will downright DENY it is not possible to activate ANY phone not sold by them/ for them. Sheesh.

The only thing that Sprint Order Support needs is the SKU: CZ2144LWC. You can also confirm with them that the UPC ends in ...40146 as that is the important part of a UPC.

 

The biggest issue with Sprint is that their agents think that we are referring to the original Moto X (2013), even though we tell them Moto X Pure Edition.  So that is not helping the situation.

Exactly this. The first time i called they told me they had no way of checking a Sku number. At least now, with the item number listed here, they found something! Hope it works and i don't waste $400+ down the drain.

Ok, I've been out of the loop for a bit.  Now, with the Moto X Pure, when I was reading the specs I saw all of Sprints LTE Bands shown, I'm going to guess all of Sprints CDMA bands also are on there.  My question is if this is truly the case for this phone?

Yup, The Moto X Pure works on Sprint.

Thanks to info from nexuss4g, bill875, and others, I got my MXPE activated this morning. 

 

I called the Sprint store in the Lakewood Mall, Southern California asking if they have the correct SIM for it and after a hold, I was told no, but that they could find another one that might work.  So I took my phone in, unopened, and was helped by the store's asst manager, Erick Bustillo.  Erick did everything, including locating the correct SIM that matches the info in this thread.  At first, he couldn't activate it so he called customer service, who told him it didn't have a valid imei.  They told him to send me home to do it online.  So he tried it online himself and it didn't work. 

 

I told him about the "leave one digit off the end" and voila.  I think he was as happy as I was.

 

If by chance you are in So Cal and you need this done, check with Erick.  I can't be sure he has more of those SIMs but he sure hooked me up.

 

Loving this phone so far.  I hope this helps.

Awesome to know! So he used this exact same SIM and activated via Sprint online? ....cool 62ba2ad99edd43cfad224169e8f4fbef.jpg

Finally activated my phone, went online to activate and the IMEI was recognized, entered the UCCID and hit enter, got the message to contact chat support. Spent around an hour to get it activated and its finally working. The rep had to remove the Global Roaming add on in order to activate. 

 

Only thing is that I no longer get LTE 41 at the office, used to be able to connect with the Moto X 2014 so stuck in 3G  :(

Do you get b41 anywhere else??

Then it sounds like the radio on this phone isn't as good, which AJ pointed out in the testing numbers.

 

Well I remember that the Moto X 2014 had antenna enhancements.

Let's not jump to that conclusion just yet. It may very well be true. But this is just one anecdotal observation at one spot. Many reasons why that could have occurred. Let's hold judgment for a few observations.

Did I ever publicly post my 2014-2015 Motorola flagship handset RF testing figures spreadsheet?  It may already be in this thread, but I cannot recall.

Back at post 139. We'll see how it plays out in the wild.

That makes B25 look slightly worse and B26/41 about the same. So they should be expected to be similar. But real world results may vary.

on to day five with this phone and still no sprint service, two incorrect SIMs, trying to get a third sent to me.  I've shared with online support the SIM information from this thread, but it hasn't seemed to help.

 

My frustration level is through the roof.  I wanted to go to my Sprint store on Saturday, but online support promised me that they would handle it.  By Sunday morning, I had a shipping number and it got delivered late today, only to not work.  Even worse, this SIM won't even see the Sprint network.  At least the first one did that!  Earliest I can visit a Sprint store is Friday due to work and family schedules.

 

One Store visit, two different online chats, and 15 hrs+ of working with @SprintCare on twitter.  What a joke...

Hopefully I'll have another SIM tomorrow that will work...

I'm still waiting for a new order number to validate, i sent all that info to @SprintCare in a DM both Saturday afternoon and again tonight.

That's weird man. I got on the phone with them 2 times only. First time like 12 minutes and the second time like 15 minutes. Second time they found the correct SIM and was shipped overnight.

I spent an hour in the store on Friday afternoon (wrong SIM #1), an hour with online support Friday night, 12hrs via twitter on Saturday, another hour on Sunday, next day shipping got me (wrong SIM #2).  Another two hours via twitter tonight, we'll see what tomorrow brings.

I huge thanks to bill875 for his post. After 3 days and (3) three overnighted nano sim cards from sprint and talking to (5) five so called "techs" I decided to cal my local Best Buy Mobile to see if they had the card that bill875 mentioned and they did. So I stopped by, went home and activated my Moto X Pure Edition, which I bought directly from Motorola. I had to drop the last digit of the MEID, but other than that it activated in minutes. Below is a copy of the receipt and nano sim card you will need:

 

Sprint UPC# 019962040146

Sprint Part# SIMGLW446C

 

Best Buy Mobile UPC# 7000116

So far no issues either on the 3G or LTE side... I live in rural southern maryland with only 3G, but was up in a LTE area this evening and so far so good. Call quality was excellent, calls were clear, not a single hiccup yet. I was reading on PocketNow that there are supposed speaker issue with cracking etc from the top speaker, but I have had no issues. I jammed my speakers as loud as they could go with full base and I must say I was impressed. Overall build quality is higher than I expected.

 

I went with the black front, red highlights and natural leather and oh boy I love it... I am coming from a nexus 5, which I have had for almost 2 years and was waiting to get the new one on 9/29, but I gave in and I must say I am so happy that I did.

    • I assume that any agreement is not perpetual and has an end date. - Trip
    • I think it is likely that T-Mobile will be forced to honor any existing US cellular roaming agreements in those areas as a condition of them taking over the spectrum.  In that case, there would be no improvement of service unless T-Mobile improves the service offering in those areas.
    • My understanding is the MNO carriers are the one who have objected to the use of cell phones in commercial planes.  I understand that it ties down too many cell phones at once, thus I can not see this changing. However this depends on how it is structured. Use of a different plmn for satellite service might make it possible for planes only to connect with satellite. Private pilots have been using cellphones in planes for many decades. Far fewer phones at a lower altitude.
    • On Reddit, someone asked (skeptically) if the US Cellular buyout would result in better service.  I'd been pondering this very issue, and decided to cross-post my response here: I've been pondering the question in the title and I've come to the conclusion that the answer is that it's possible. Hear me out. Unlike some of the small carriers that work exclusively with one larger carrier, all three major carriers roam on US Cellular today in at least some areas, so far as I know. If that network ceases to exist, then the carriers would presumably want to recover those areas of lost service by building out natively. Thus, people in those areas who may only have service from US Cellular or from US Cellular and one other may gain competition from other carriers backfilling that loss. How likely is it? I'm not sure. But it's definitely feasible. Most notably, AT&T did their big roaming deal with US Cellular in support of FirstNet in places where they lacked native coverage. They can't just lose a huge chunk of coverage whole still making FirstNet happy; I suspect they'll have to build out and recover at least some of that area, if not most of it. So it'd be indirect, but I could imagine it. - Trip
    • Historically, T-Mobile has been the only carrier contracting with Crown Castle Solutions, at least in Brooklyn. I did a quick count of the ~35 nodes currently marked as "installed" and everything mapped appears to be T-Mobile. However, they have a macro sector pointed directly at this site and seem to continue relying on the older-style DAS nodes. Additionally, there's another Crown Castle Solutions node approved for construction just around the corner, well within range of their macro. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Verizon using a new vendor for their mmWave build, especially since the macro site directly behind this node lacks mmWave/CBRS deployment (limited to LTE plus C-Band). However, opting for a multi-carrier solution here seems unlikely unless another carrier has actually joined the build. This node is equidistant (about five blocks) between two AT&T macro sites, and there are no oDAS nodes deployed nearby. Although I'm not currently mapping AT&T, based on CellMapper, it appears to be right on cell edge for both sites. Regardless, it appears that whoever is deploying is planning for a significant build. There are eight Crown Castle Solutions nodes approved for construction in a 12-block by 2-block area.
