Is there any way to get a Moto X Force to work on a US carrier if you import it?

Even though it looks like the Moto X Force will not be coming to the US at all, some of us were wondering how hard it would be to get it to work on AT&T or T-Mobile networks if you bought it overseas?

Would it just require a sim card, or would AT&T and T-Mo have to do more on the backend to accommodate the phone on their network?

If it has the correct LTE bands, there is nothing to do but drop in a SIM card.

I thought the moto x force is the same as the turbo2.Someone correct me if I am wrong.

Even if it doesn't have the proper LTE radios it will more than likely at least work on 3G/4G. Usually they don't have the LTE radios for use in the U.S., but I haven't run into an international model yet that couldn't do HSDPA+.

Edit: Yes, it will support all bands from Tmo and AT&T to include LTE. There won't be any Volte on TMo however.

@dgstorm stop being scared, just buy one and try out for us on camera. Be a good field reporter and take one for the team.

The X Force supports these bands. There shouldn't be an issue...

GSM 850/900/1800/1900, HSPA+ 850/900/1700/1900/2100 and 4G LTE Band 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 17, 20, 25, 28 and 40.

@dgstorm I'm wondering why a Force and not the Turbo 2. Is it just to have an unlocked phone?

It's not just unlocked but has the ability to unlock the bootloader.

Because the Turbo 2 requires you to be a Verizon customer. For anyone not on Verizon, The Moto X Force is the only option (although it looks like Sprint customers can't even use that).
