Use Verizon Moto E 2015 on Any GSM Network

Moto E has been a great success in the budget limited markets and its success encouraged Motorola to launch the second-generation Moto E device with improved hardware at almost the same price. In fact, Motorola has struck us with surprise by launching a 4G LTE variant of the Moto E 2015 giving the local manufacturers a run for the money. However, Motorola didn’t dump the 3G variant of the device and launched them in select markets.

The new Moto E 2015 has a 4.5-inch IPS display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 200/410 processor, 1GB RAM, 8GB storage and microSD slot expandable to 32GB, 5 MP rear, and a front VGA camera and a 2390 mAh battery. On the software end, the device comes with the latest Android Lollipop out-of-the-box and a trusted promise of updates from Motorola.

The Verizon Moto E comes with an unlocked bootloader which makes it easy to make changes to the system. If you’re trying to switch from Verizon to other Carriers, you might want to look at this simple workaround from Whoareyou which will easily help you use your Verizon Moto E 2015 on any GSM network with full LTE support.
