Obviously it'll be locked to Sprint bands only. What would you expect? That's why I don't get too excited.
Sprint has been unlocking the G6 Play. I've had one unlocked and I'm waiting for the second one to get unlocked. I was using it on AT&T and didn't notice any problems. HD Voice (Volte) was working but no wifi calling. I was able to get 40 Mbps on AT&T. I did notice that I wasn't seeing as many available LTE bands compared to my Galaxy S8 Plus, but it was a quick survey.

Quote from zeugma :
You sure it's dual sim? Looks like MicroSD + Nano SIM to me, just like the G5 Plus.
Nope, not sure, there was a different video that showed dual sim, however I saw the G6 play in UK has published different radio specs so maybe they are different.

This is video of dual sim, but it's not English

https://www.youtube.com/watch?tim...1QRUlgCfCs

seeing both videos make me wonder if any way to use a second sim.

Also some have NFC, and first video looks like it has NFC also, he mentioned wireless charger in video but I think it's NFC antenna since I have not seen anywhere mention wireless charger and I threw it on my qi charger and got no response.

people say Sprint unlocked their phone after 5 months. I'm planning to use the Boost Moto G6 Play on AT&T.
Unlocked for SIM, no way to unlock bands without bootloader unlock + flashing different baseband/system firmware, dude. Until I see confirmation that bootloader can be unlocked, it's just a Sprint phone.

After 50 days is Sprint's normal requirement, not 5 months.

The goal to have a unlocked G6 for use on ATT after 5 months for $111? I think sprint unlocks after 50 days, not sure...

Does anyone know the bands of Boost Moto G6 Play?
I google the specs, all of them are copied from unlocked Moto G6.
The model number is XT1922-7. I searched for information for that specific model and di not find very much information. I found a 1922-2, 1922-5 and 1922-9. It also looks like one or two models may only be GSM phones. IDK, information is scarce online.

If they forgot to lock the bands and/or the bootloader is unlocked, it would indeed be a slick deal.

I suspect you can sort it out eventually (but you still might have to swap it on eventually because many times now they are rejecting older Sprint models for this particular offer - but that is not the immediate problem or it would have passed the test you just did).

Literally Unlimited on Reddit may be able to see what is wrong if you have not contacted him yet. He is actually with the same company Ting but is very senior and may have a better answer than you got.

Second, most probably if you go to a corporate owned store they may work on it and fix it (for all they know you want to add it for a paid plan), or if you get help from the moderator on the Sprint Community Forum, they can probably refer it for investigation. They oftten do that although you do not see it on their forum because they switch to private.

Oh does it still show ok on the Ting checker after all the handling?
Got it sorted out over the weekend at corporate store that had tech support. Thanks for your help with it.

I was using it on AT&T. Voice and text messaging worked fine and I was on LTE Band 12 and it was working fine. I believe I also saw Band 4 being used and also HSPA+ when I was in a store. I had 15 Mbps on HSPA+.

Well, as said about 1000 times, you have to CALL IN to use your own sim.

That looks like SIM unlock to me. I don't believe there is a way to unlock the bootloader without the signing key from the manufacturer. It's not theoretically possible due to how cryptography works.
