Deal Details
- It's a low end phone but then again you are getting it for free.
-You have choose to activate with carrier and then select ATT/VZW
- If you already have an account with either you can add a new line and cancel when the phone ships
- If you don't have an account, you can first get a google voice/tello number and create an account with porting that number (you might need to 'unlock' that number [$3 for google voice] before porting to ATT). Then the entire process can be done online.
- To get a new ATT/VZW number as not an existing customer you will have to go to bestbuy and pick up phone in person.
- The phone is unlocked from factory and ready to be used with any carrier.

Cancelling the account within 3 days will waive the activation fee so you might need to pay for the plan for a day or two. If shipping is taking longer, you can do pick up.

See https://slickdeals.net/f/17327499-oneplus-nord-n30-5g-128gb-unlocked-chromatic-gray-cph2513-best-buy-0 for more info on account creation/cancellation etc. I'll copy the wiki here too.

Do they limit the number of times you can do this? Is there a credit pull?

Soft pull as per ATT/VZW. I have done these deals more than 5 times already for sending phones to relatives.

Thanks, that helps. One not in the wiki - can you activate 2+ phones onsite immediately as well? If they have four can you just walk out with all 4?

This I'm not sure. I'd do 4 separate orders for 4 different accounts I believe and then pick them up. I don't know if in person they will allow you open 4 new lines.

So is it best to pick it up in person? Or can you do like bulk orders online? I want to get like 5 phones for family in Vietnam for free so like thinking how to go about it. Can I do 5 different orders at the same time same day? Or does it have to be spread out?

If you're just planning on using it on wifi and don't care about software updates, just about any old flagship you have sitting in your drawer will probably blow the doors off it. For instance, an 8 year old Galaxy S7 will destroy it performance-wise.

The Moto G Play 2023 has a really slow chipset plus only 32GB storage is very limiting.

The Moto G Play 2024 is far from winning awards in the speed department but it's still a darned sight better than the 2023 model.

Yeah, it's better to pick up at the store is that you can cancel right away. I'd do 5 different orders but it's possible that a single store might have 5 phones at hand so you might need to ship some.

Yeah. I prefer to just get the Tracfone/Straight Talk/Total deals. Just have to wait 60 days after activation for unlock.

You can get the Samsung Galaxy A15 5G for $45 right now on Straight Talk (free phone with $45 unlimited plan). That's a much nicer phone than the Moto G Play 2023. No port-in required and as long as you don't sign up for auto-refill, the plan just automatically cancels after the month is up.
