Unlocked Motorola Moto G Power 2024 5G 128GB/8GB Blue + New Line Activation with Verizon $29.99 BestBuy

https://www.bestbuy.com/product/m...ku/6572573


Steps to follow to get the deal:

1. Go to Bestbuy Listing for Motorola Moto G Power 2024 5G 128GB/8GB Blue and choose "We'll help to connect this with carrier".
2. Choose Verizon and then new number (you can also choose to transfer a number but given that you are going to cancel it first thing new number is better).
3. Go through checkout and fill out verizon related info. Note down the account PIN you used as you might need it later during cancellation.
4. You can pick the phone up in the store. After pickup, setup verizon account with the new phone number.
5. Chat with CS to cancel the account. Activation fee is waived if cancelled within 3 days.
6. The phone is factory unlocked, sealed and ready to be used with any provider.

Personally, I don't do these activation deals at Best Buy but people have had better experiences. If you can make it work for yourself, its a great device for $30, especially being unlocked.

Community Reviews

The Moto G Power 2024 comes across as a solid budget Android phone with 8GB of RAM, a decent display, and good everyday speed, and the unlocked hardware is not tied to Verizon. Connectivity and reception are often praised, with Motorola radios standing out, though there are also reports of slow performance and weak cellular service on some units. The rear camera is the main hardware weak spot. The Verizon activation promo can lower the price sharply, but it brings checkout friction, possible credit impact, and cancellation or billing hassles that may require chat support.

Common Questions (5)

  • The line can be cancelled through Verizon chat, and some buyers were able to disconnect it immediately after pickup or activation. The safest window mentioned is within 3 days of Best Buy processing the order to avoid activation charges, and you may need to dispute any later prorated bill or small fee.

  • The activation fee is reportedly waived if you cancel within 3 days, but a small prorated charge or later bill can still appear and may need to be disputed. Some buyers saw about $7-$10 in first-day or later charges even after cancelling fast.

  • Reception can be very good, with some users reporting better connectivity than a Galaxy S25+ and solid performance on Google Fi. Others reported poor connectivity or worse service than an older Moto G Power 2020, so carrier and location matter.

  • It is a budget phone, not a flagship, but it can handle basic daily use. One owner found the speed, display, and feel good for everyday needs, while another called it very slow.

  • The phone is unlocked and not tied to Verizon. Verizon is only part of the bundled new-line activation used to trigger the discount, so the device itself is not Verizon-locked.

The slickdeals effect. Likely no way to resolve. Raising price is suppose.

Verizon may charge you later. Saving tens of dollars is only worth it if you plan to actually use Verizon

very slow, pass
Yes, you are very slow and should pass if you don't think this phone can handle anything a normal person should be using a phone for.
I bet you need an i9 processor and 128GB of RAM and a $2000 video card to open emails and surf the net on your computer too.

Honest question tho: what are my options for a Moto G Power for $30 (or similar)?
There are none of you need an unlocked phone. You can't even get anywhere close to this used let alone new. Even at $130 it is a reasonable price.

had a $10 certificate that expired tomorrow, so only $20, nice backup phone
tried cancelling after receiving phone, had to chat with three reps until i got one that said it would cancel with no charges, bill had already posted to the account so they said it would reverse the charges after the billing cycle a month from now. screenshotted everything in case anyone tries to say otherwise

phone itself is real nice though for the $20 i paid

Too sketchy. I feel bad. Do people actually pay $75 a month or more for 1 line of service? As you check out, their recommended suggestion is a Visable Sim with $45 a month service lol
With Visible $45 plan which gets discounted to $35 paired with the now $79.99 phone (when paired with Visible), may be the best deal of the different configurations that can be done. I recently got an "unlocked" one from eBay but it's actually locked and can't even get any bars with the default Verizon service, thus can't activate. I'm in dialog with the seller. In hindsight, I think I should have gone with this BestBuy deal with Visible.

The activation is already done when your order was processed by BB and your time has already started ticking to cancel within 3 days to avoid activation charge, if do nothing, even if you don't use your sim, verizon will send the first bill after 30days that you will have to pay and can't escape.
After cancelling you should receive a email confirming the same. or you should only be able to login to your account via disconnected account link.
That might not be the case for buyers who bought the phone and picked up in store with the sim card taped to the box of the phone. I was a previous Verizon customer many years ago. I called Verizon to check the status of the sim card. They verified my old account with my old pin code. I then asked them the status of the new SIM card. Verizon told me there's no phone number with the sim card. And I did not have any active numbers or lines on my account.

Ordered and picked up at front store. Sim was taped to phone. I called Verizon to verify I had no account etc (as I never activated) and it seems I am Scot free. Should I be concerned it was this easy? Had a 10 voucher so was like 20$ out the door
Likewise. I called Verizon, gave the SIM card number and they told me there's no phone number associated. And I don't have any active lines.

Looks like I need setup my account and give my SSN to get the deal. How are you getting the phone with SIM taped?
