Good phone, Poor service

The phone is good.
Service at the store was horrible. First, we had to wait to check out for 30 minutes when there was only one customer in front of us. Second, sales clerk and assistant manager (not sure who he was) did not know anything on how to activate the phone. They told SIM card can transfer between phones which is not true. We had to go to the cell carrier to activate the phone. We will buying phones from cell carrier. We will not be returning to Best Buy in Lafayette, Indiana.

Absolutely the worse phone I've purchased over the last 25 years! So many problems over the 9 months I've had the phone, Best Buy support was absolutely non existent, two things I will never do again: buy a motorola (I've had at least 7) and most importantly buy an electronic device from Best Buy!!!

Doesn't last, even in a case. Speaker went out and the service plan costs almost half the phone amount. Just bought a new phone.

For my basic limited planned use, I was quite happy and exited with my new Motto phone. However, very frequently as I was typing the keyboard letters froze, and kept freezing. No idea what happened but this is not normal. Had to go back or out.
So disappointed.

Hi JosemanuelH, We're sorry to know that your phone freezes and that you're experiencing slowness on your phone. Slow/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/5059>; Next > Display/Touchscreen > Phone is slow/unstable and try the recommended steps there. Should there be any further inquiries, please do not hesitate to email [email protected]. We'll be glad to help. -Mitch

The touchscreen is not responsive, I have to press buttons over and over to get them to work. I didn't start using the phone right away so I missed the Lousy 30 days ( from purchase not pick up at store. So now I'm stuck dealing with Motorola. Not buying anything from Best Buy again if they don't resolve this.

I was not given the free month of Xbox live as advertised. The cashier said it would be sent by email. I have received no email. I called the store and was immediately sent to voicemail, I left my number and have received no call back. Very unsatisfied.

Purchased new. Spent 2 hours with Geek Squad. They couldn't get it to transfer files from my existing Motorola phone to new phone. They suggested I return it. That's exactly what I did. Geek Squad said the phone was defective.
