The G series replaced the E series as their budget line. But the Gs are better equipped, e.g., Power and Stylus models. I for one am grateful for the availability of <$100 phone options.

* Showing OOS/limited stock in my area and $79 with $30 off with in-store activation of $40 or higher plan.

Adding a data point: US Mobile with DarkStar (AT&T Network) works via eSIM on IMEI2 while the phone is still locked to AT&T Prepaid.
Kept the preinstalled (unactivated) AT&T prepaid physical SIM card in the phone occupying IMEI1.
All is working well. Calls/Text/5G Data. When first attempting the transfer with service on Warp (VZW Network) the eSIM transfer would not go through.
Requested US Mobile to change my line's network to DarkStar and it installed without a hitch.

Motorola phones are shovelware now. The only way they can make money is by cranking out very cheap models as often as possible with no support for the previous models. (Maybe except for moto razr)
Using one right now because my pixel 8 took a dump. Camera isn't quite as good and the speakers are slightly quieter, but other than that, not much difference in day to day use. Oh yeah, screen is larger on the moto g power and battery life is slightly better. Who cares if it doesn't get much support after the fact, it's a $100 phone and I'll just use it for a year.

Just bought 2 of the 3 one of my stores had. Came to $49.67 for 2 with Tax and Target red card card.

Hope the cameras are ok for live-streaming, as that's all we need them for.

Well, pretty bummed. The camera app that we use for our streaming device will not load on this phone. I have it on other Motorola devices running android 13, but this has 15. I will definitely be returning one of them. I will hang on to the other to use as an android auto device from my car's hotspot. We use iPhones, but like Android Auto better. Then, I can use my older Motorola for the camera system.

I'm on Cricket with a 2023 Stylus, barely use the stylus part. Saw 4 of these (in OP) at the Mansfield,TX, location marked down 70% off. Tempting to get it just for the wireless charging.

Might not even need/want a case if it has Gorilla Glass and if the "eco leather" is any good. Anyone comment on this G Power being used with/without a case?

No service plan purchase required.

Works with AT&T prepaid or AT&T postpaid.
Requires 6 months of paid service to become eligible for unlock

So weird, I thought the gov't said 60 days for unlock...
As lioncat55 indicated, unlocking after 60 days only applies to Verizon or MVNOs operating exclusively on their network.
When Verizon licensed the 700MHz spectrum in 2008, and again when it acquired Tracfone in 2020, it agreed to an Unlocking Rule that allowed users to switch to any network after purchasing a handset. That changed in 2019, when the FCC permitted Verizon to lock devices for 60 days, following the carrier's argument that the delay would help combat fraud and identity theft.
Verizon actually sought to overturn that rule earlier this year. So in short, AT&T, T-Mobile or other carriers are not required by law to unlock phones after 60 days.

Thank you for posting this. I was only marginally interested at $40 but with the potential to get it for $24 I ventured to the store and walked out with the best phone deal I've ever had.

I was on the same phone and grabbed this deal. First impression is the performance seems very similar. No stylus of course but it does have wireless charging, more cameras, and will get 3 years of security updates. It is a thicker phone, feels good without a case since the back has some texture.

I went ahead and got a cheap case with glass protector but may end up not using it. I've never cracked a screen on a phone and I've been using non flip phones for 18 years or more.

The main driver for me to get it was the security update life span. As the total package is a bulkier phone.

So I just got this phone. Turned it first time on with a different carrier SIM card, no SIM error, going through setting up the phone. after that I check settings/about phone/device details/network lock, it says UNLOCKED. Is it temporarily unlocked? Or permanently unlocked?

After testing. the phone appears to lock as soon as a network connection is established. A message pops up about the phone being locked to AT&T prepaid and how their unlock app works.

NOW I see that. I inserted a T-Mobile SIM card, at first it worked for 1 minute or so, then ATT network Lock screen popped up or maybe it's an App, blocking T-Mobile SIM from call text, I guess data too.

Has anyone been able to try it on Cricket? I have been able to use AT&T prepaid phones on Cricket, in the past, but one post states it does not work on a different MVMO, although that one is not dirrectly owned by AT&T.

I have never been able to get any the the AT&T prepaid phones to unlock, it was not an issue for me, since I have been with Cricket forever, and have no current plans to leave.

The G series predates the E series but I suppose it's fair to say that the lower tier G model could be considered an 'E' replacement, I just think it gives the wrong impression to the casual reader here.
