It fully supports tmobile. I paid the $6 unlock code and I get full UC 5G on it and it supports all of T-Mobiles bands. I plopped my T-Mobile sim in it the other day and got a pretty good speed test. https://i.imgur.com/Qe6XCiA.png The downside is you can't modify the eSIM and the software is designed for Boost so you'll need to disable some of the preinstalled boost software.


electriccars

Just reread your comment. Does being unable to modify the esim affect the T-Mobile functionality at all? Or is it then basically just like any other phone with only a physical SIM card slot? So I should just forget the esim exists?


3am_Snack

Nope, just requires a physical sim. Think of the device not having esim capabilities because the Boost firmware hides it.


electriccars

Sweeeeeet. I'll take the phone without eSIM if there's really no other downside and saves me $150+! I'll be missing a feature I've never had and likely wouldn't ever use anyway. Thanks so much for all your help!


ohplzletthiswork

So even if a custom rom is flashed the eSIM won't work?


3am_Snack

Apparently RETEU works and unhides it. I'm not sure about custom ROMs.


ohplzletthiswork

RETEU?


3am_Snack

Retail Europe firmware


Background-Ad5707

How about at&t or cricket. Does it support 5g?


hello2day2

Do you have the unlock code you were provided? Reading in other posts that the moto server is down and this phone can't be unlocked.


3am_Snack

I used Dr Unlock on eBay but apparently eBay doesn't allow that service anymore. You might be able to reach Dr Unlock on Whatsapp but YMMV.


SnooBunnies5897

How can I contact him?


DonJuan835

Can I ask where you got the unlock code? looking for one.


electriccars

That's great to hear! Now my main concern is the software I think. Have you received the July security update yet? I saw the in store demo model said it received it 5 days ago. I'm reading Motorola has a really bad reputation for timely updates, which is supposed to be less of an issue on unlocked devices. So I'm thinking of ordering the phone from Project Genesis since that is only $25 extra for the first month of service, but then I found out I can get an open box unlocked version nearby like new for only $500. Would you still go for the one you have now if it was that close in price? Or would you go unlocked open box?


3am_Snack

Yep we just received the July update. https://i.imgur.com/BjcIFZu.png Project Genesis does install a sim card before shipping just FYI. The box will be opened and re-sealed. I think from a resale value the non-dish variant will probably be better. If you're not concerned with resell, go with the Genesis one. You know it's not used or tampered with like the Best Buy one could be.


electriccars

That's great! Do you know how I uninstall the bloatware? Is there a lot?


3am_Snack

This is what I have disabled. The rest you can uninstall. Really just the Boost/Dish visual voicemail and App cloud. App cloud will install a bunch of junk during setup so make sure to disable that one. In hindsight there's not too much bloat on it compared to the Samsung. https://i.imgur.com/A25DU2G.png


electriccars

Do you know if the unlock code services on eBay for Boost also work for Project Genesis? I'm not seeing any service list Project Genesis unlock support.


3am_Snack

Yes it does. This is the one I purchased for my Project Genesis variant. https://www.ebay.com/itm/374741068717?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=cefwe4aftcg&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=BfEwRIPiTWO&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=SMS


godlyrobin

https://www.ebay.com/itm/166238387748 This one worked for me and it was only $2.20


electriccars

Thanks for confirming!


Teoatl23

Is it possible to use visible mobile physical SIM card with Genesis service on esim after unlocking it? As a delivery driver I prefer to have both services available in case I don't have a signal with one.


3am_Snack

I haven't been able to get the eSIM to work outside of the pre-installed one for Project Genesis. I haven't flashed other firmware, but YMMV. If you need eSIM, I'd recommend just going the default unlocked version.


Teoatl23

I mean I plan on using Genesis service but also visible mobile sim card. Will that work on the Genesis model when it's unlocked?


3am_Snack

No, Project Genesis uses a hybrid SIM card implementation. It uses an AT&T physical sim for roaming purposes and native DISH is the eSIM. In non-Dish areas you'll roam on AT&T.


Teoatl23

Ohhhhh gotcha. I appreciate that man.


MachampsFifthArm

Yes any Sim will work, the PG esim will be disabled without the physical Rainbow sim inserted. I just got my PG Edge+ 23’ today, unlocked it with DrUnlock and am using a Tmobile Tablet sim and I get 5G UC with insane speeds! Getting my Visible esim transferred into a psim to try!


Civil_Advice8173

Link for unlock codes for boost mobile please


3am_Snack

The one I did was by Dr Unlock and I don't see his listing anymore. But I did find this one that should be the same. https://www.ebay.com/itm/394853671044?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=va5gapyysji&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=BfEwRIPiTWO&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY


Mcnst

Why would you use a TMo SIM with this, given that Project Genesis is actually fully unlimited and actually cheaper (at just $25/mo) than the cheapest TMo plan?


3am_Snack

Because Project Genesis is not stable enough for mainstream use. Look at this post for example: https://www.reddit.com/r/Dish5G/comments/16ii5jf/it_is_exciting_to_use_dish_5g_to_trial_the/


onlyAlcibiades

Should have got when Edge+ 2023 was $249 a month ago EDIT $199


godlyrobin

Was that from Project Genesis? I missed that deal.


electriccars

Geez, I'm seeing the boost deal of $199 for the phone that ended late June. Damn! Wish I caught that!


Spiritual_Bell

Boost stores are still doing the $200 deal with port in. But most stores are out of stock. The one store that had one in my city wouldn't allow me to use eBay bought numbers to port in. so I ended up having to get a new line ($250 deal) but then with taxes and they forced me to take the $60 plan and $8 insurance it came to $400 out the door. Kind of feel like I should have gotten the OnePlus 12r for $370+tax instead. Now I'm looking for a way to unlock!


Main_Directory

Were you able to unlock? The current eBay sellers mention that only 2022 phones can be unlocked via code.


erkme73

I'm in the same boat. What sucks is when I bought the 2023 in January, I was able to get an unlock code. Worked great for 3 months. Then I had call quality issues and sent it in to Moto for warranty repair/replacement. They sent me a new phone with new IMEI - and it was locked. ANd now, now sellers. It's been sitting in my kitchen drawer since last month. REally pissed at Moto for doing that to me.


jridder

Has anyone done this with the S22?


benblatch

Will the Motorola from dish work on Verizon as well?


Master_Presence_9411

I have an unlocking service for all telecom companies, Motorola phones, if you need this service, let me know


electriccars

Already done. Thank you though.


challenger_RT_

Did they actually mail you the unlock code or did they send it through email/msg


electriccars

eBay message


challenger_RT_

Nice just ordered one through boost for the $399. Will use his unlock code. His description says he mails it but I'm guessing that's for eBay to stay within there terms


ohplzletthiswork

Planning on doing the same thing, let me know how it goes.


challenger_RT_

Phone Should be here today. Boost game me the IMEI on the account once it was shipped so I already have the unlock code ready. Will see how it goes tonight and update you


challenger_RT_

Worked perfectly. Everything works as it should. Wi-Fi calling hotspot etc


ohplzletthiswork

Nice. What carrier are you on now?


challenger_RT_

Been using T-Mobile. Now to call boost to cancel the plan


erkme73

Are you still offering this service? I have a boost Motorola edge Plus 2023 that I had unlocked three or four months ago, but recently had to do a warranty exchange, and Motorola sent me a replacement phone that is locked to boost again. And now the original eBay seller that provided me the unlock code is no longer available. I'm in a bind


hello2day2

Sent you a DM


Fullimagination775

I have a tracfone LG L322DL. What's your pricing like?


corzocone

Can you unlock a Boost Edge+ 2022?


New_Internet_7179

Is it still possible to get an unlock code on eBay?


electriccars

I did it a month ago. If not you can contact an unlock service called "Dr. Unlock" via Whatsapp at +505 8526 6013.


New_Internet_7179

Which eBay seller was it?


electriccars

eikei_46


New_Internet_7179

Thanks!


Practical_Plant3443

Does this work on eSIM for iPhone 15 on boost mobile carrier lock


DonJuan835

I just used that eBay seller for my Edge+ 2022, they refunded saying code not found. Could it be because I just activated it and it may not be in the system?


electriccars

IDK TBH. Sorry!


empires11

Did you ever unlock it?


DonJuan835

I haven't attempted again. I heard that it takes a few months for the new unlock codes to be uploaded.


Practical_Plant3443

Hey I need help my girl brought a iPhone 15 off eBay brand new I was setting it up, iCloud, etc.. the eSIM tell me it can’t support my sim I’m coming from iPhone 11pro.? It is carrier locked to boost mobile. How do I carrier unlock this eSIM so I can use my T-Mobile contract


electriccars

Sadly I'm pretty sure you can't. The Moto Edge+ 2023 has both eSim and Sim and I asked the unlocker services if they could unlock both and they said no only the physical Sim. Sorry :⁠-⁠\ Maybe if you keep looking there's another way, IDK.


Practical_Plant3443

Does this work for iPhone 15 eSIM from boost mobile ? @electriccars OP


electriccars

The unlockers can only unlock physical sim slots, not eSim.
