Verizon Moto G $50 at Best Buy starting June 1st

[dpham00]

Thanks Colby. Does that 2.5 gb used include the Google preloaded apps as well as VZW bloat? i.e. will I actually have 5.5gb to use for whatever I want?

After my 6 months on prepaid, I understand I can go to postpaid on VZW, right?. Can the phone be unlocked and taken anywhere else, or is it locked into VZW forever? Is there a sim card slot?

Sorry for the stupid questions, but as a neophyte I'm trying to make sure I know the pros and cons of what I'm getting into.:-\

There is no sim slot. You are pretty much stuck with Verizon with this phone. Imo, the biggest drawbacks are prepaid, no sim slot, no 4GLTE, and no sd card slot. If you are okay with this then the Moto g is a good choice

I have a Nexus 5 as my daily driver, but I decided to pick this up today for $50 as this was the last day of the sale. This will be a nice backup/wifi device. Also in case anyone did buy one, this also comes with 50Gb of Drive space for 2 years.

You got the GSM version correct?

No, this is the Verizon CDMA device Best Buy had on sale.

Wow. Why would anyone get a ZTE Valet or Galaxy Prevail over a Moto G now?

Because the valet, as awful as it is, remains tracfone, which is significantly cheaper than Verizon.

Good point. Are the Verizon prepaid plans still that much more expensive?

I called vzw customer service on the day of the sale and was told that I should be able to use it on postpaid with no conditions. I rephrase the question a few times and answer was still positive. The problem is that I won't really know until u try to activate - bought it as a spare.

Try activating it online, if it tells you to call cs in the activation process then you know it won't activate

Yep. You won't really know unless you try.

Has anyone been able to activate this on Page Plus or another reasonably priced prepaid?
