[Guest Kevinski66]

Hi all newbie here,

Bought a second hand moto g4 at an auction and its locked to a network and i don't know which one,i have looked in phone and i can't find anything,is there any way of finding out which network provider it is locked to or an unlock without knowing the network provider???

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.................thanks Kevin

Kevinski66,

                   Its depends in which region you live in the world, South America, Africa etc. I would advise getting the appropriate sim for the Moto g4 if you have one, and put it into sim slot and restart the phone and see if you can get a signal.I bought a locked Zte kis 3 phone and it was advertised as locked put in my sim in and got a signal 2g,3g networks no problem. Also when the phone first starts up it will look for your sim service provider and other also showed up other service provider signals when doing this. I find locked as advertised does not always mean the sim is locked only to one service provider you may well piggy back onto another service provider signal because you service provider allows this. If this fails go to local shop in your area which can unlock your phone for you,they should be able to do this based on the I think imei no or serial number of the phone. Otherwise search over the threads at XDA whcih has forums for Moto g4 phones based on your model of phone. Sorry this long winded
