A:AnswerI just got my Moto g6 a few days ago and I have Metro. It works perfectly. You have to call Metro to activate it so that your imei is tied to your phone number. Hope it helps!
A:AnswerYou will lose use of your present phone as soon as you request a transfer of your current number to the new phone. I had purchased a new SIM card from my provider and once I put it into my new phone, I was able to request a phone# transfer. From the time I pressed submit, my number had transferred to the new phone within an hour. I couldn't send texts or make calls from the old phone during that hour.
A:AnswerI've have an issue with Android Auto and my Moto G6 almost every time I attempt to use it. At first I thought it was my car, then I used it on a different make and model and still had issues. Something goes wrong almost every time. I have tried various approved USB cables, but that didn't fix the issues. I went back to using my phone holder and just using Google maps and Pandora on the phone, and it works flawlessly.
A:AnswerThere are two prices - you get $50 off if you are activating with a new number. I was replacing a phone so that discount did not apply. It's a great phone for a great price either way and getting an unlocked phone means I can change carriers if I see a better deal and don't have to change phones.
A:AnswerYou're going from the G5 Plus to G6 (regular). The G6 Plus (which isn't offered in the US) does have a better processor. However, the processor seems to feel just as fast. Benchmarks are only on paper and Android Oreo seems to help make everything a bit faster.
A:AnswerTry giving the phone a static IP sometimes routers and phones don't play well with each other. Is the problem only at home? If it happens everyplace put it in a paper bag swing it over your head 3 times while cursing profoundly. If that doesn't work call for warranty replacement.
A:AnswerHi CV30, Thanks for posting. I just checked the website. The charger type of the phone is USB-C and the turbo charge is included in the box. The charger port is not a micro USB. Thanks. -Rich
A:AnswerHi CV30, Thanks for posting. I personally like the Indigo one. As far as I know silver is only available in the UK region. We don't have one in the US region. You can check our website for more information https://www.motorola.com/us/products/moto-g-gen-6. Thanks for your feedback. - Rich
A:AnswerIt appears the Moto G6 is ok on Truconnect - see https://smartphones.truconnect.com/Phones.html. As an alternative, consider Republic Wireless, which is similar to Truconnect in that it runs on T-Mobile's network. I use a Moto G6 on Republic for $22/month for 1GB data. If I run over (which I almost never do), I can add data at a rate of $5/GB on the spot, so I don't have to have a plan with more data than I need.
A:AnswerAccording to a February PhoneNews report, Total Wireless is owned by América Móvil, which also operates the TracFone Wireless family of MVNO brands. The report also said that the Total Wireless service runs on Verizon's
This phone supports all the big 4 major carriers as well as the MNVOs. These are the smaller carriers that piggy back on the larger ones network. MNVOs are mobile virtual network operators. MVNOs are small carriers that lease cellular coverage and data bandwidth from — or share it with — a member of the Big Four, then resell it to customers. Hence the “virtual network” part of the name: MVNOs don’t own any actual hardware. The Big Four own and operate it.
Sometimes these MVNOs are wholly owned by the bigger carriers; for example, AT&T owns Cricket Wireless and allows it to operate on the AT&T network. Other MVNOs are independent entities, like Republic Wireless or Consumer Cellular, that lease space on someone else’s network.
You’ll see Sprint’s name pop up in a lot of these agreements, as it has been relatively friendly to MVNOs compared to other big carriers. It has a history of selling data at wholesale rates — as Gigaom reported in 2012, when MVNOs were newly resurgent — and, thanks to its weak market position relative to AT&T and Verizon, it has an interest in cultivating any competitive advantage it can.
A:AnswerNo it is not just you. I was thinking the same thing. I have had mines a few weeks and yes I notice how the battery still drains with even light usage of the phone because I don't use mine that much either. My son has the moto x, I'm going to ask him about the battery on that one.
A:AnswerYou can get an adapter, but I caution you against reusing a card if it's already years old. They can fail over time due to age & environmental stresses. It can be a big hassle to lose the data on a card and then be in a rush to buy a new one. So, if it's been a couple years since I last bought a phone, I get a new card.
A:AnswerYes.
It won't be as easy to see as a AMOLED display, but this screen, being IPS, gets really bright and enough to see at least whom is calling and to use. just i'd not recommend running the phone in full bright scenarios all the time unless you absolutely have to. Like any other device, that'll nuke battery life.
Oh, and screen protectors do a lovely job at making it harder to see sometimes. this phone comes with one preinstalled which you may or maynot want to rip off once your set.
