The Motorola phones I used before were the Stylus 2023, 2024, and Edge 2024.
These phones had similar chip performance, with the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 and 7s Gen 2 processors, and the A36's Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 processor.
While Motorola phones often lacked performance compared to more expensive phones,
at least there was no lag when moving the home screen left or right.
The A36 experienced lag even when simply moving the home screen left or right.
The A36 is fine as a backup phone, but it's not ideal for everyday use.
Moto=trash cameras, especially video.

The Samsung FE is rated a better phone. $99 at Metro with port in..
Much faster processor.. Running at 3.21 GHz with 8GB Ram. The A36 runs at 2.4 GHz.

I was able to get two iPhones in February with my google voice number. Also many sd users in iPhone 13 deal reported they were unable to successfully port gv numbers. No one knows why. Some were able to call metro cs and get the gv port to work. Many couldn't. So there is no definitive answer to this for sure.
