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.

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

I just did this on Tuesday. Verizon LIED and said they were going to cancel everything asap. They told me to check back within 24hrs All the charges were still there. I had to get back on chat for a second time to get the charges removed. Nothing was in the notes as promised and I spent about 2-3hrs total in chat with them. Only do this if you don't mind dealing with them.

After pickup we get email with link to "setup verizon account with the new phone number." ? what is the process here, so immediately after setup we can contact/chat CS to cancel service and close account ? appreciate the help.

Does this do a hard inquiry on your credit score?

For what it is worth, my sister had lousy connectivity with this phone, and ended up switching to another phone.
I have this exact phone and it is has better reception/connectivity than my Galaxy S25+. Can't beat Motorola radios honestly.

It requires a trade-in phone?
I'm so confused.

I find that surprising, but glad it works for you.

Bought this in Jan of 2025 to fill in for my Z Fold5 while it got repaired. Gave it to my kids for use after that. It's been on the Tello 2GB plan since then and been great. Honestly, the only reason I didnt keep it was the rear camera was pretty poor performing. The device's speed, display, and feel were all great and met all of my daily needs. I think I paid $175 or $200 cash for unlocked at that time. One nice thing about the phone is the back is like rubber/vegan leather, so I may have rocked it caseless had I not given it to the kids.

If you sign on with Verizon then cancel it right after, can they reclaim the phone number (leaving you phone number-less)? I need a number with the phone. And if you activate with Verizon, aren't you committed for at least the month that you have sign up?

It appears you can choose either Verizon or AT&T. (does that also include MVNO supported companies that use Verizon or AT&T? The page also pairs it with an option to buy Visible services. I wonder if that is just a "paid ad" to use Visible).

At&t is an option as well... Are they "easier" to cancel with as opposed to Verizon?

VZ option only gets you the lowest monthly rate of $75, whereas the AT&T is much more as an out the door price. Then there is the $40 activation fee. This is looking like a no deal here. Perhaps simply buy the $130 unlocked option without hassle and go to number barn for a phone number.
