    This Moto G Play 2023 is an excellent unlocked phone with unbeatable price that can be used in the U.S. and all over the world due to its Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM). I would recommend this Motorola phone to everyone living the developed world as well as the global south.

    I needed a replacement and this G Play 2023 is working out really well for me. The Moto actions are still will this model. I am using it in a MVNO that's MINTY Fresh and haven't had any issues - i'll let you know if anything changes. The camera and battery life are all optimal on a new device, the features work great for my needs.

    After a very poor experience with my iPhone, that was destroyed, I made a "temporary" purchase of this Motorola... After a month of use, I am extremely happy and will use this as my permanent phone. It has excellent camera quality and the reception is remarkable. Must have been fate!!!

      It's great to hear that you're enjoying your phone, Sharon! Voicemail setup can vary depending on your carrier, but typically, you can set up voicemail by dialing your own phone number from your Moto Stylus phone and following the prompts. If you encounter any difficulties, your carrier's customer support team should be able to assist you further. As for the phone's size, it's understandable that it may take some getting used to, but it's fantastic to hear that you're adjusting well.
