If i buy this to use on cricket, will i be able to tether (is tethering carrier/at&t locked, requiring root?).

Root is indeed required for tethering when the Moto X variant is carrier branded. The only version of the Moto X that does not require root for tethering is the XT1053.

The phone was bought factory unlocked. I was able to tether when using T-Mobile service. Thanks.

I have absolutely no idea. But, to clarify, it is a Sprint-compatible phone.

I had cricket. Still the same phone. Just depends on the region you live in as far as the phone co. But it's the phone not the carrier. This was Huawei' prototype smartphone. I've upgraded to the Huawei mercury Ice. Much better phone! And I don't have any pics loaded.

Yes I have the same plan and this phone worked fine. I think when they say prepaid they mean month to month service, which cricket is

Yes, tethering it from T-Mobile network works. But, FYI, doing so violates the T-Mobile User Agreement. I have no idea whether they would notice, care, or punish you for doing that.

Not sure about sprint. I have cricket and now have great 4g LTE inside. Before using booster I had no service

Not sure if it would work with a plan that explicitly enables tethering. In other words, I am not sure how the phone determines whether WiFi tethering is enabled. Given that it works well with non-US carriers (e.g. in Singapore, Scandinavia...), I would imagine that there is perhaps some sort of negotiation added in the "WAP" (Wireless Access Protocol), and that if your carrier allows it, the phone enables it.Just speculation though. Give it a try - Amazon at least lets you return the phone if it does not work out for you...

If you can get AT@T in Venezuela....the phone will work....if you have T-Mobil...Simple Wireless...pretty much any sim card service that's not Sprint or Verizon...Cricket...you can use in this phone.

Yes it does. I personally have Cricket which is At&T; and it works great. I love this phone

No it's a sprint phone. But i know several people here that have gotten them unlocked at cricket

I don't believe it will work with the big carriers like AT&T; or Verizon. When I am in the US I use cricket.

Yes..my phone is from Cricket/ATT as well, I got my phone a few months ago.. For some reason the cases for this phone are not too available.

Yes. Since the phone is unlocked, you can pick which carrier you want to use. I have at&t; so i use an at&t; sim card. At&T;, sprint,& t-mobile sim cards are are feasible to use in an unlocked phone. If not mistaken, i believe verizon doesn't use a sim cards so that's a different story. If your planning on using those other carriers like cricket they would just have to flash your phone if flash capable.

Do you mean switching to a cricket service? I am not sure. It's a little complicated. First you have to be in an area with cricket service, log on to their website. Afterwards contact a local cricket dealer to see if they have a software for the LG G-Flex to operate on.

I had Verizon and bought this phone and set it up with cricket and had no trouble.

If you put in the effort yes but you could just get this phone from www.scratchwirelesa.com since they offer free talk text and web. Why pay Cricket money when you don't have to?

No Jin, until now, I was unable to unlock the 3G from ATT. I live in Brazil and Im using an external 3G modem to connect. I hope I can find a way to unlock it, Samsung said it is not up to them, ATT said they do not unlock tablets, only mobile phones. I wasn't aware of that...
