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.

  • The unlocked Moto G Power can work well as a daily driver for basic needs on MVNO service.

  • The phone can deliver better reception and connectivity than a Galaxy S25+ in day to day use.

  • The device can perform smoothly for everyday tasks like speed, display, and overall feel.

  • The phone can be a decent mid-range option with 8GB RAM for a secondary or even primary role.

  • Verizon cancellation after activation can still leave charges behind, requiring multiple chat sessions to remove them.

  • Connectivity can be poor for some carriers, including reports of worse cellular connection than an older Moto G Power on T-Mobile.

  • Verizon activation checkout can require selecting a Verizon plan, and the cheapest option shown can be $75 per month.

  • The deal can fail when the activated device cannot be activated, leading to order cancellation.

I thought this phone won't open up and set up unless the plan and SIM card is set up in the background if that not the case? Will it be activating ready to go right out of the box?

Of course you have to choose a plan. But you can cancel it the next day. Please refer to the instructions

The phone is nothing to do with Verizon, it an unlocked device not tied to Verizon. It's just that it's bundled with a line activation to get a discount of $100

Now that you posted publicly that you are interested in stealing this phone by intentionally signing up for a plan and planning to cancel it, the Precrime department is on its way. Pray for a Minority Report to exonerate you. Wink

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank

Remember you are putting a ding your credit and possibly messing up reputation with verizon for future services.

For what it is worth, my sister had lousy connectivity with this phone, and ended up switching to another phone.

She uses T-mobile. The cellular connection was worse than her old moto g power (2020) model.
