Verizon Prepaid - Motorola Moto G No-Contract Cell Phone - Black (Verizon)

An excellent buy ($20 / BBuy Deal of the Day). Only use it as a WiFi device.Great as a music (MP3/FLAC) player, watch streaming movies (Netflix),as part of my family security system / as a mobile security video monitor.Excellent battery life.

I love my Moto G phone. It was very easy to figure out, which is important to older people.

This is a brand new, just released phone. You just can't get a better Android device, for less than 100. Know what makes it even better? How about the freedom to own one today, without getting locked into a $100/mo, 2-year commitment. What if you discover the quality of service isn't what you expected? Just term your service, without the worry of ETF's. The perfect phone for anyone who wants a few nice features a smartphone offers, but doesn't need to have it pull from 12 separate email accounts, or watching YouTube and Netflix videos all day. It offers a great value for those of us in the 20 percentile group that don't pull our phones out every 15 minutes, in fear of missing the latest post on Facebook.

This phone is a welcomed replacement to my prior one (a 1.5 year old LG Optimus Elite), which had served me well but developed a cracked screen. The battery life is wonderful by comparison. Its screen is nicely sized. Buttons and cord receptacles are sensibly placed, unlike my old one, which may have contributed to why I lost my grasp. It has convenient options, shortcuts, apps, and features, including a two-way camera (which my Optimus lacked), allowing me to fully Skype. Other little things are appearing to be improvements to what I used, as well, such as that autocorrect is MUCH more accurate and user-friendly than my old phone. Even the backing feels like a really nice texture. The $45 / month plan is a little more than what I used to pay, but it offers unlimited talk and text. I was disappointed by how quickly my mobile data was used, but I have since learned that employing Wi-Fi does not use data, so I should be well-off next month, knowing that. Before I decided on which phone, I researched and was already strongly considering this, but when a very knowledgeable salesperson recommended it (while only knowing that I was comparing it with other models), I was pretty much sold. Needless to say, I am quite happy.

This is a great phone for the price. The shortcomings that it has are easily offset by the low price. The screen looks great and the phone is very responsive. You tap and it responds quickly. Any other android phone that you could buy for $100 is going to lag a lot and be frustrating to use. This isn't at all. It also comes with a very recent version of Android (4.3) and Motorola is currently updating the Moto G's to the latest version, Kitkat (4.4). Some people (not with the Verizon version) already have gotten the update and I would expect this version to be updated in the coming weeks. There aren't a ton of Verizon apps that can't be uninstalled (without rooting) and taking up space, though there are a few. The camera is so-so. The pictures are passable, but not great. I wouldn't expect too much out of a cell phone camera unless I was spending at least $400 though, so this is neither surprising nor disappointing. It does have a front mounted camera as well, which can be useful for some things and is a feature you likely won't find in other phones at this price point. Unlocking the boot loader requires getting a code from Motorola and it voids your warranty. If you don't know what that means, then you don't have to worry about it. For most people, this isn't a big deal, but it's a rather negative point for me. There is a lot of customization that stock Android just lacks and that cannot be added without root. On the upside, the phone is cheap enough that it wouldn't break the bank to buy another one if need be. It only has 8 GB of memory and there is no SD card slot. If I had an option, I would have paid an extra $20 to double that, but given the price I can live with it. It does come with 50 GB of Google Drive storage for 2 years at no cost, and it supports USB OTG so you can plug in a flash drive or card reader if you needed to (though that obviously isn't practical for every day use). As others have mentioned, this phone does not have LTE (4G). This is a error in Best Buy's listing. I knew that the first time I saw it and it isn't a big deal to me at all. Verizon's 3G is fast enough for me in the areas I frequent. Others also mentioned having trouble activating this phone. Whatever the problem was, it seems to have either been fixed or limited to certain areas. The phone was just released so my assumption is with the former. All in all, this a great phone for the price. Any other phone with comparable features is going to run you $300 or more, and there are many out there that cost that much that don't even measure up to this phone. It would still be a good deal at at nearly twice the price, which is what it costs ($180) to buy it straight from Motorola. If you don't like Verizon, this phone is (and is going to be) available for several other carriers as well. I could hardly be happier with this phone.

This little phone is very capable with a fast processor, a quality build, a decent camera, and android kit kat 4.4! We upgraded my wife from an old blackberry bold (with a major carrier, beginning with an A), to this phone which is prepaid month-to-month with Verizon. The price was great considering all the abilities of the phone. It works well with GPS and map applications. We weren't sure about going from blackberry to android, but my wife loves it! She even dropped the phone in a shallow pool in Belize. It was almost 5 minutes before she realized where her phone was. After putting it in rice and letting it dry out for a day or so, it works like new. Incredible. It's only 3g, but the processor makes this bearable for the "average" user or for someone for whom this phone would be an upgrade. We're glad we gave it a try! With a rugged build, kit kat, and water resistance, only 4g could make it better!

* Positives: - Bright, sharp display. - Snappy quad core processor. - Android Kit Kat update. - Great battery life for a phones with a decent size screen. - Crisp, clear & loud sound. - Fits nicely in the palm of my hands. - Easy to find accessories. - Works with Walmart's exclusive Verizon $45/month smartphone plan. * Negatives: - A meager 8 GB of 'set in stone' memory. - The top of the phone is heavier than the bottom which gives an awkward feel. - The battery is also 'set in stone'. - If one wants to substitute this phone for their Verizon 'ball-n-chain' phone, a 6 months period of continued service costing at least $300 is required. - It can only be used on Verizon's network. No MVNO's like Straight talk or Net10.

Looked at a lot of phones and after researching them and reading reviews decided to buy a Moto G for my wife to replace her LG phone which she was having a lot of problems with. She loves it and after playing with it, I bought one for myself and another one for my stepdaughter, who likes hers more than the iPhone she had previously.. Hard to believe this phone only cost $69.00, quality and features make it as good as much more expensive phones. Looks like Motorola, who has always had good phones but not much in the way of spectacular, hit a home run with this phone! Could use a memory card slot and not sure why the battery can't be removed but those are not major issues.
