    I was very unsatisfied so I took it to the UPS store that they could get it back to you on 12, 24, 24 so you should have it back soon.

    Cheaply made not worth the money. This is more like a $50.00 phone then the hearty price tag it carries. Quality of photos are very poor. Sound is very low. No way to change sensitivity. No wallpaper preloaded.

    Shipt delivery driver called once, didn't leave a message, then returned the phone to Best Buy. It is more than a month and I haven't received a refund. Ordered the phone directly from Motorola without issues.

      Hi Johan, We're sorry to hear about the difficulties you've experienced with the Shipt delivery of your phone. It's concerning that the driver didn't leave a message and the phone was returned to Best Buy. Given that it's been more than a month without a refund, this is certainly frustrating.
      We recommend reaching out directly to Best Buy's customer support to inquire about the status of your refund. Provide them with all the relevant details about the order and the return. -Mitch MotorolaMobility

      We're sorry to hear about your experience, ShelbyC. We'd like to help. Does your Moto G Play phone have the latest software and updated apps? Freezing is sometimes caused by too many running apps in the background, use your recent apps button to close apps you're not using. It is also a good practice to restart the device periodically (every 2-3 days) to clear out buffers and memory that may lead to intermittent issues. If the concern persists, kindly go to this link: https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/mcp/landing_troubleshooter/g_id/5059then select Next> Display/Touchscreen > Screen is frozen or blank and try the recommended steps there. Let us know if this helps by sending us an email at [email protected]. -Mitch MotorolaMobility

      Hi KaushikB. We are sorry to hear that you had a less than satisfactory experience with our phones. Please know that we stand by our products and we want to make things right. may we verify when this concern starts to happen? I'd like to know if it does the same thing in safe mode. It is actually not a fix, but it will help us know if there are third-party apps that cause this to happen. Safe Mode will start the device without third-party applications running. To boot into Safe Mode, press the physical power key, touch and hold Power off, and touch OK when Reboot to Safe Mode appears. Restart the device to get out of Safe Mode. For other concerns, please send us an email at [email protected]. -Nate MotorolaMobility

      Hello LarryS, Thanks for sharing your feedback. I'm really sorry to hear that your contacts weren't transferred as promised. I can understand how frustrating and inconvenient that must be. If you had your contacts saved to your Google account on your old phone, they should automatically sync when you log into the same Google account on your new phone. You can check this by going to Settings > Accounts > Google on your new phone and making sure the sync is enabled for contacts. If you need further assistance, write us an email at [email protected]. -Iza MotorolaMobility

    Bad cell phone, battery does not give anything, it breaks very easily, it is better to buy a higher value phone since this will only get you out of an emergency and you will have to change it soon
