    I bought this from Meteor earlier today for €170. He wanted a Meteor phone number to register the phone against, but I said it was a present and didn't have the number with me.
    Popped my tesco mobile sim card in and its working perfectly.

    micro or nano sim?

    Ordered mine from meteor site with new number. Phone came next day if ordered before 10 am via dpd. Sim came separately. popped in my 3 sim and works perfectly. Well worth the price, coming from a Samsung s3 a big improvement performance wise except a few things like camera. Although my s3 was slowly dying for a long time I think.

    Micro sim. I switched it straight out of an iPhone 4S.

    Same, €169 instore price now. although he refused to sell it without a number so just have him mine. Said it was protocol in case it was stolen etc and needed to be blocked.
    The person I bought it for put their 3 sim in and it was up and running no bother. :D

    Can anyone post some 4G speed tests?

    Interested to see what the Moto G 4G is getting.

    Yes I'm extremely late with this but this is the best test I have in Sligo town on Three.

    I could be wrong but I think the max it takes is 32.

    Officially its 32 but 64 will work. Some people over on XDA are running 64 gig cards in theirs, so you could check which make/model they're using to help ensure compatibility.

    Don't thinks so. Ring Tesco UK. Tell them you bought the phone to use on the Irish Tesco network but it won't work and need to be unlocked. Tell the you want to pay the £20- unlocking charge but can't use their on-line topup service with an Irish Credit card. They should give you £20- free credit and then unlock the phone. Number to call is a few posts back. Did mine yesterday.

    Bought it just now from meteor. Said it was for my missus who has an 085 number but that's alli said. Popped in three sim and nothing but some sim cars warning sign notification

    An ideas?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 829 ✭✭✭smellmepower


    Was it turned on with a Meteor sim in it before you tried the 3 sim?if it was then it's locked to Meteor and you'll have to get an unlock code for it off ebay for 3 quid or so.


  • Registered Users Posts: 815 ✭✭✭bonkers

    i got the 8GB 3G moto G earlier this year - served me great and looking at this now. Any ideas how easy it is to transfer all the junk on my current 3G moto to the 4G moto??

    Bought one (4g 8gb) for the mother, was pleasantly surprised how good it was for such a relatively low price.


  • Registered Users Posts: 97 ✭✭KoA-Ollie


    hi is this deal still available? says expired on hotukdeals but hoping there's still some way to get it!


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,759 ✭✭✭gustafo


    phoned up tesco uk today to try and get the phone unlocked but after being fobbed off from 1 section to another for 20 mins there was no way they would unlock it if i didn't have the 20 quid topup paid, i explained that i had an irish credit card and i could not top up but still they would not do it,

    so still have a new phone that i can't unlock anywhere

    what a joke.
