    I bought this to use with Tracfone. Had to buy Sim kit, but once I had that, easiest switch over ever. I like the phone, though it's kind of big for me, but hey, if I want to read, play games, or watch movies, the screen is excellent. Nice camera too

    This was a filler phone for a friend that had her phone stolen and we weren't eligible for an upgrade. It was fairly inexpensive for a smart phone and did pretty much what she needed it to do. I would buy it again in an emergency.

    While not one of the expensive phones, the Moto G5 Plus works great. All the features I needed and wanted. The price was excellent for a 5th Gen. No need to spend money you might need for other things. Very happy with the purchase and would highly recommend.

      Hi Bpugl, thanks for reaching out. May I ask what you mean by "connecting to service"? Are you having signal issues? Or is this about your internet? -Erwin MotorolaMobility

    This phone is doing great for me. It has exceeded my expectations. The battery life is good. It was affordable at the price I got from. It has a decent camera. My main objective to get it was to get a day to day general purpose phone and it suffices it.

    After a few weeks of looking at reviews, doing comparisons, utilization of gift cards, I've decided on this phone. I hope 6 months into my 1st year, I'll still be delighted.

    I had to upgrade my basic phone so that I had enough memory to run my fitness apps. It's bigger than my last phone. But I love the screen. And I'm getting used to the larger size. With my fitness watch I'm able to track my steps and prepare for a 5K.

    It has a mix of the best features between LG and Samsung, for example the camera and the display. The processor is fast and the battery life is a really good point in this phone

      Hi ON2017,

      Thanks for your feedback! The phone is great as it is running the stock android which makes it very easy to use. The phone has great features which other phones don't have.

      By the way, we have a great community of owners on our community at http://lnv.gy/2nGkguS. Please check it out.

    This is a great value compared to many other phones on the market. I like the finger print feature a lot. It seems to be a touch slower to connect with my car via Bluetooth vs. my former Motorola Droid Turbo but nothing significant.

    It was worth the money. As a “real phone” rather than a pay as you go cheap plastic phone, it has tons of memory and other capabilities. Motorola is a good brand.

    Great value. Good memory and expendable. Quick and responsive processor. The con is the phone audio is not great. Not an issue if you can blue tooth when talking on the phone.

    I like this phone as it's a good size for me. Not being a "techie", I've had some difficulty figuring out all the commands, etc. So I'm still trying to use the phone smoothly. It continues to surprise me with helpful features.

    I had purchased another phone with many problems. The salesman I was working with (Jared Sims from Olympia) suggested I try the Moto G Plus. And although Olympia didn't have one, he called Lacey for me. Appreciated the care Jared gave me.

    This phone does well if you are looking for an alternative to the pricey phones. Few things this phone doesn't do. Group texting, led notifications, clear definition to keep contacts out of the cloud, and backup to micro SD card.

    The 5th Gen Moto G Plus is an awesome buy. It works great on the Sprint network and is very user friendly. You will have to get used to certain android 7 updates and the lack of an led notification light, but it is still a very solid phone.

    Bought this after breaking my phone on vacation as a temporary replacement. After using for awhile will just keep this for now. I miss the usb c cables that plugged in either way of my previous phone. Other than that no major negatives.

    I have used TracFone for five years, but I never was very happy with the choice of phones. I took a chance on this unlocked Moto, hoping I could set it up with my TracFone account. It worked and I couldn't be more satisfied!

    It was for my daughter birthday and she is very please so far to have it. Although at the beginning she wanted the iphone 6. She stated that the motog5plus is a wonderful surrogate. The features are useful and the function is speedy
