Definitely not. US Cellular mostly uses CDMA for the Ev-DO 3G speeds (800/1900) and does not have a UMTS Chip whatsoever that Tmobile uses for its 3G. It does have a GSM Chip in there so you can get EDGE 2G speeds at least. As far as LTE: the U.S. Cellular model supports bands 4/5/12 which is 1700/2100, 850, and 700 a/b block. Tmobile uses Band 4 so you can at least get LTE coverage.

For the future: if you're uncertain about which phones supports which-frequency: you can look it up on the FCC's website. It's a bit complex at first but you know for sure the information there is accurate and not crowdsourced from places like GSMArena which 'can' get the info wrong.

Different radio setup.

The Verizon Moto X is SIM Unlocked and includes CDMA/EVDO, Quad band GSM support, and UMTS/HSPA/HSPA+ support, and LTE Band 4/13 support. Its listed on Moto's site, Verizon's site, and if you dig a little you can find it in the FCC Docs here -> https://apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/repo...rame=N&application_id=627824&fcc_id=IHDT56PB1

The Sprint Moto X is SIM LOCKED, and only Sprint can unlock. It includes CDMA/EVDO, and LTE Band 25 support. Per one of its FCC documents it supports WCDMA 2100/1900/850, GSM 1800/1900/850/900, LTE band 25, HSDPA 21.1Mbps (cat 14), HSUPA 5.76Mbps, along with the CDMA.


While this wiki page -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moto_X indicates the XT1055 does support 850/900/1900/2100 UMTS/HSPA, the FCC docs don't list any UMTS/HSPA/WCDMA tests, only CDMA, LTE, and Wifi. And US Cellular's web site doesn't list UMTS/HSPA as supported either. So I'm not sure. Reading THIS FCC doc for the XT1055 indicates only CDMA 800/1900, LTE Bands 4, 5 and 12 only. No mention of UMTS/HSPA/WCDMA.

Still no solution about xt1055 gsm calls and data?

My xt1055 can do gsm voice calls but each one ends in 20-30 seconds without reason. Unlock was made with Dr.Faramrose guide.
