I've heard that even though the Nexus 6 is compatible with Verizon CDMA, Verizon won't activate a phone that wasn't purchased through them AND even if you do manage to work around that (e.g. SIM swapping), they won't give you the / line access discount for off-contract phones.
It's there any reason to believe the Moto X Pure will be treated differently by Verizon?
Currently, I'm on the the Verizon loyalty plan, which doesn't have an off-contract discount, and I'm eligible for a subsidized upgrade n September. So I am leaving money on the table if I DON'T take advantage of a carrier-subsidized phone. However, I might be willing to give that up and pay full price for the Moto X Pure if it means I'll get an unlocked bootloader and software updates directly from Motorola without Verizon approval.
But the question remains: will Verizon cooperate, unlike with the unlocked Nexus 6?
FYI, I can't leave Verizon because it's the only carrier that gets service in my neighborhood.
