The unlocked/universal Moto E4 XT1768 had a price drop at Walmart to $30 for stores that still have stock. This will be YMMV and in store only.

See https://brickseek.com/walmart-inv...=333487562. Some example zip codes showing stock at $30 include 43528 and 48162.

FOR REFERENCE ONLY

$30 for this phone is a great deal. I love the front fingerprint reader / navigation pad, and it just works well for a sub-$100 phone, ESPECIALLY if you can get one at $30!

I bought 2 last night for $30 each at a nearby Walmart. I'll probably eventually try to root/ROM at least one of them, if (that's a big "if") I ever figure out how to do that!

Report all lazy, rude, useless Walmart employees to Walmart corporate using the following link. Make sure to include the employee full names and the store addresses. Walmart corporate takes this very seriously, especially for stores that have many complaints from customers. They have the "here to help" campaign that grades each store for customer satisfaction. Employees that receive more than ten complaints in a month will be investigated and received warning before letting go. As long as those "not-so-helpful" employees still work there, your chance of getting any deal is zero Big Grin
Code:
https://corporate.walmart.com/contact-us/store-corporate-feedback
If a store shows three or more in stock (verified with Walmart app and/or with the handheld scanner from Walmart employee), but the items are nowhere to be found; that store has inventory problem. Walmart corporate takes inventory very seriously and will investigate till all items are accounted for. They are supposed to scan all electronics, verify stock, and verify/change price (change price as needed) every week. They have a printout of inventory, prices, and new price tags (as needed) every week. The handheld scanner will show when the item was last scanned and verified. If it is scanned more than a week ago, someone is not doing his/her job and needs to be fired. Also, on the price tags, there is a date that shows when the prices are last printed. This is not rocket science, most "unable to find" items are due to unscrupulous Walmart employees.

Thanks OP picked up one at the Steelyard Walmart in Cleveland. Store Clerk found it real quick by accident as it was locked up with the E5s. He was surprised and said "huh" when it rang up for 30 bucks. I actually think there was another in cabinet and asked for it but he said that was only one but since he was so nice I didn't create a stink since I got what i wanted. GL all

That's great!

Yes, it is a very good budget phone, especially for $30, and especially since it's compatible with all US and most global cellular networks AND it's Vzw VoLTE (HD Voice) compatible, too, so it will continue to work on Vzw after 12/31/19.

Anyone knows how to deal with Walmart employees that don't want to help? As soon I ask for particular model and say it's unlocked they immediately brush me off and say they don't sell unlocked phones. They won't even open the shelves to check. I know they want to make commission, but it's really aggravating.

I think I pretty well described what I went through before earlier in this thead, but I have definitely dealt with stores that DO NOT sell unlocked phones, yet somehow have this and other unlocked phones in their stock. I still don't understand how that happens, but it definitely does!

When I go in to such a Walmart, I almost always bring in a printed copy of the barcode. I usually start by asking the employee to scan the barcode with one of their handheld scanning devices. They usually do, because that's not hard for them to do, and they are probably conditioned to scan bar codes with that device.

After they scan it, I ask for however many I want, based on what BrickSeek shows in stock at that store. Then sometimes it goes to the conversation that unlocked phones aren't sold at that store, but I simply and politely say that their inventory system shows that it's in stock, and that I'd like to buy the item. If they refuse to even look for it, I politely ask for a manager. In most cases, the item is eventually found, because I'm very politely persistent, and the employee ends up selling it, but continues to state that they don't sell unlocked phones! Like I said, I understand where the employee is coming from, because there really is no reason that an unlocked phone should be in that particular Walmart store, but the fact is, they often are, at least in my area!

I'm still seeing recent reports on other forums that somehow people are still finding these unlocked $30 Moto E4 XT1768 phones in some Walmart stores

Good luck!

Head straight to the customer service desk and ask to speak to the store manager. I did that once at Target, store manager walked back and asked where the item was that showed in stock and bingo, suddenly the electric department employee found the "missing" camera. He was all over himself saying he's sorry he missed seeing it, yada, yada.

Scored one about a month ago. Picked up 2 more today. Also know where 2 more are in my area. They are still out there. The lack of bloatware is where it's at!

That's great!

The Moto E4 XT1768 really does perform well, especially considering the $30 price many of us paid! Using low-demand and small size alternative apps, or even the mobile websites for things like FB, FB Messenger, Twitter, etc. whenever possible, and using a light weight browser like Naked Browser, just to name one, instead of Chrome, really makes it feel snappy!

I'm also trying Open Camera, which is pretty lightweight at a 2.4MB apk size, instead of the stock Motorola Camera. While it might make the pictures taken much better, I find it easier to use.

I'm really hoping for a few more security updates, too.

Anyway, I'm glad you were able to get two more of them. It sounds like it's still worth checking local stores if somebody really wants one.

Wow! Good job!

The Moto E4 XT1768 is still well worth $30, even if it's just to have a good unlocked phone compatible with all networks, including Vzw, "just in case".

It's a great backup phone. Or if you're like me and don't demand a lot except for solid basic functions, it's even a great primary phone.

What general area are you in? I still see two stores with two each in stock in NW Ohio, according to BrickSeek.

I'm in North Carolina. It's actually for my neice who get a bit envious when her mother got a brand new more advanced Moto phone. Now she has a first phone and it's not such a heartbreak if she loses or breaks it. Plus it's a junior version of her Mom's phone. Great first phone for a young teenager!

That was very nice. I hope your niece appreciates it!
