So any Verizon based MVNO unlocks after 60 days. (The reason this occurs is Verizon bought 700 MHz C block of radio frequencies in 2007 and the FCC at the time put rules on it that were customer focused and this was the net result.)

It is a little different between Android and iPhones but the experience is painless. I did this in April 2022 from a Feb 2022 similar deal.

=====

Now let's look at phone band frequencies this phone can do.

4G bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 18, 19, 20, 26, 28, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43
5G bands 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 28, 38, 41, 77, 78 SA/NSA
Speed HSPA, LTE-A, 5G
And per the T-Mobile website they use these frequency bands so you will want to match the list below to the list above.
Extended Range (XR) 5G:
Band n71 (600 MHz)

Ultra Capacity (UC) 5G
Band n41 (2.5 GHz)
Band n258 (24 GHz)
Band n260 (39 GHz)
Band n261 (28 GHz)
Important tech stuff, band n41 is useful but band n258, n260, and n261 are not. This is because 25, 28, 39 ghz are unable to penetrate buildings, have a real short range, and even things like a tree with just leaves can block this line of sight.
yet frequency band that are 2.5 ghz well that is useful and will have similar building penetration such as indoor wifi. Yet the 600/700/1700/1900/2100 mhz are even better at penetrating buildings and indoor walls. Stuff in the 600 to 800 mhz range is the best at penetrating walls.

Extended Range 4G LTE
Band 12 (700 MHz)
Band 71 (600 MHz)

4G LTE
Band 2 (1900 MHz)
Band 5 (850 MHz)
Band 4 (1700/2100 MHz)
Band 66 (Extension of band 4 on 1700/2100 MHz).

So while this phone is 5g capable it does not have the phone band radio frequencies that T-Mobile uses for 5g, it will be a 4g phone only on T-Mobile. You want band n71 even if n41 provides some 5g.

Seems like a solid deal, but where is the $407.63 retail price coming from? It looks to me like this is regularly $199.99.

60 days after activation you can unlock it.

I like this phone, but I'm holding out for a Samsung A53
If you switch often, and switch between carriers (AT&T, Verizon, or T-Mobile towers), then yes you would want to stick with the A53 5G.

Quote from MMrazz :
RRP on the Moto G 5G is $399 so the number is correct. However as you say, it normally goes for much less, and is $199 on the Moto website and elsewhere at the moment.

I did too until they started taking down the Sprint owned towers last month and our signal went to crap. Now we only get 1 - 2 bars of signal and on a clear blue day, maybe 20Mb speeds when we had all bars and 300 - 400Mb speeds before New Years. We get better speeds now if we turn off 5G and use 4G. My T-Mobile options (Mint, etc) went out of the window. Whoever they hired to do the survey's on their Sprint decommissioning is an idiot. We had the T-Mobile tower on the other side of town, and the Sprint tower right down the street. They took the sprint tower down, and according to CellMapper, placed the antennas on top of a water tower 3 blocks down the road from the existing T-Mobile tower. LMAO

I've seen lots of complaints about TMobile and the whole sprint thing. Never having had sprint because their coverage around here, the Midwest, was near non existent.
I've had TMobile cellphone as well as TMobile home internet 5G for awhile now and have no complaints about either.

Presuming the bands you've listed are correct (I haven't checked) then you've got it pretty much backwards.

Without LTE bands 12, 66 and 71 it's going to suck on T-Mobile. It will work in some/most areas, but it's not going to be pretty if you're having to rely on bands 2/4/5.

That said, it'll probably work great on T-Mobile 5G with band n41. This is the band my T-Mobile phone spends most of it's time living on.

It's for the whole year.

No, it's what you get period. It's like buying milk. Once you've used it up it's gone, even if it's before the end-date. Once the end-date is reached, it doesn't matter how much is left--it's gone.

When you have used up the minutes or texts or data, that particular service is done. Once it has been active for 365 days, the phone turns into a pumpkin, no matter how many minutes/tests/data remains.
