Guest markhuges Posted December 31, 2013 Report Posted December 31, 2013 I'm sure they all use the same servers. As soon as I get the code (or don't), I'll leave a message. EDIT: I got a reply informing me of a refund for the first listing, then I got another one about half an hour later saying exactly the same thing for the Tesco-specific listing. IMEI rejected again. I'm sorely tempted to just go the PAC route so I can at least start using the phone properly. If it's an issue with waiting for the servers to be updated then it could be weeks, if ever. I'm not going to sit around trying different unlockers every so often on the chance it'll work. I'm going to check out the £20 Tesco route as a last resort. Give it a week and then try and ask the seller if the servers are updated ( since its new years i assume) wait until Jan 5-9th and then try ! Best of luck!!

Best of luck!! Cheers. I gave in and transferred to Tesco, although it'll probably not be until the 2nd/3rd until it's completed. I will do as you suggested though and try again in a week or two, then I can switch back to O2.
Guest philipsp Posted January 1, 2014 Report Posted January 1, 2014 Just to add my experience. Ordered a Moto g 8GB from Tesco on the 28th December. It came on the 30th. Applied for an unlock code mnz.technologies.ltd on the 30th and the unlock code was with me by the morning of 31st when I used the unlock code and it worked.
Guest oe79 Posted January 1, 2014 Report Posted January 1, 2014 (edited) I bought the phone from Tesco and bought an bought the unlock code from http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/111223239973 It took about twenty minutes to get the email with the unlock number. I entered it and it worked first time. Edited January 1, 2014 by oe79

I entered it and it worked first time. He has been on holiday for 2-3 days but says he'll be back today (2nd). I'll probably just wait a week or two to give the servers time to update and try again. I should mention that the other seller issued a prompt refund on both the listings that I tried, ie the base £2 one and the £5 'Tesco-specific' one. Neither worked, but you get a refund anyway so I'd just try the £2 first.

Guest 0066ad Posted January 3, 2014 Report Posted January 3, 2014 (edited) In Ireland these phones seem to lock on to the network that you put the first sim card is into them. I've never seen this before, bought the phone in a meteor store which wasn't my network, they guy asked me do I wont a sim card as it is locked to meteor I declined, thought I was going to have get unlocked anyway but when I got home tried my sim and it worked. Thought I was lucky and got a sim free phone so tried a sim from meteor and guess what it asked for a sim unlock code. Edited January 3, 2014 by 0066ad
Guest RottenFoxBreath Posted January 3, 2014 Report Posted January 3, 2014 16gb version bought from local Tesco yesterday, code from smgreen1969 @ £1.99 worked a treat.
Guest t-bon3 Posted January 4, 2014 Report Posted January 4, 2014 Yes looks like most people are getting their unlocks just fine, I've unlocked 2 Tesco Moto G's today, an 8GB and a 16GB. Looking at the purchase history on ebay, smgreen1969 has unlocked almost 6,000 Moto G's and mnz.technologies.ltd nearly 7,000, both of them are unlocking more than 100 Moto G's a day. :ph34r:
Guest gavin.19 Posted January 7, 2014 Report Posted January 7, 2014 (edited) The more expensive unlock method worked for me - http://www.ebay.com/itm/160993247848 Got my code in a little over 24 hours. Edited January 7, 2014 by gavin.19

Guest spannerz Posted January 7, 2014 Report Posted January 7, 2014 Just got my Tesco Moto G today instore and bought unlock code from SMGreen UK Ebay and got code in minutes and unlocked perfectly.
Guest Redflake Posted January 8, 2014 Report Posted January 8, 2014 Got one from Tesco Today and unlocked with code of Ebay. £1.99
Guest TescoHudl Posted January 9, 2014 Report Posted January 9, 2014 Guess what guys? :DSmgreen1969 has finally been able to get me an unlocking code!!! It was the £6.49 method which worked here, on my 16GB Tesco Mobile PAYG.
Guest deltalinxx Posted January 9, 2014 Report Posted January 9, 2014 Not sure why you guys are having trouble, I just brought a 8gb from tesco for £99 and used the £1.99 unlock code and it worked straight away.
Guest gavin.19 Posted January 9, 2014 Report Posted January 9, 2014 Guess what guys? :D Smgreen1969 has finally been able to get me an unlocking code!!! It was the £6.49 method which worked here, on my 16GB Tesco Mobile PAYG. Congrats. Seems we're one of the few unlucky ones that had to go the more expensive route, but still, it's still a lot less than the £20 Tesco would charge.
Guest Andymac1969 Posted January 20, 2014 Report Posted January 20, 2014 Unlocked 2 last night with codes purchased here.http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/111223239973? Dont wanna sound like an advert but last night,20 minutes tops and codes were bought ,sent and used successfully . One 8gb,one 16gb both purchased tescos in the last fortnight. I used this one Moto G 8GB from Tesco, received the unlock code in about 20 minutes, fantastic service !!
Guest lefizz Posted January 23, 2014 Report Posted January 23, 2014 My mum bought me one in tesco then brought it me me in Spain where in live over Christmas . 16gb. Unlocked for £2 eBay in about 2hours. Great phone for the money cheapest I can get here is €200 vs €154 I paid getting a tesco model unlocked
Guest Loki86 Posted February 17, 2014 Report Posted February 17, 2014 meteor isn't sell sim free moto g, I'll try to explain. The version sold by Meteor is marked "EURetailSL". The device is unlocked when you take it out of the box, but it will be locked to the network of the first SIM inserted. But anyway i see seller in ebay that sell code for meteor too
Guest nirmalbalaji Posted March 10, 2014 Report Posted March 10, 2014 I was about to buy Moto G 16GB from TESCO (UK) and will get a SIM unlock code from eBay. I hope it works. But I have a concern about it. Will the mobile accept Indian SIM cards? I'm not a UK resident, I live in India. Just buying the mobile from TESCO because its cheaper than in India.
Guest glossywhite Posted March 10, 2014 Report Posted March 10, 2014 (edited) Maybe the title of this thread should be edited to reflect the fact that these codes are now available for peanuts; I paid £1.99 and had the code within 20 mins, from an English gentleman named Simon Green. Here is his listing: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Motorola-Moto-G-Mobile-Phone-Unlock-Code-/111223239973?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item19e56bf525 Edited March 10, 2014 by glossywhite
