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

This Moto G Power 2024 is a budget unlocked phone that stands out for solid reception, decent everyday speed, and a comfortable rubber like back. The display and overall feel get strong marks, and it works well as a basic daily driver on carriers like Tello, Google Fi, and Verizon. The main drawbacks are weak rear camera performance and reports of slow or spotty connectivity on some networks. The Verizon activation bundle also adds hassle, with possible plan requirements, fees, and cancellation follow up, so it fits best if you want the phone more than the carrier promo.

Common Questions (5)

It can be a solid budget daily driver with good speed, display, and feel, and several reports say Motorola radios give strong reception or connectivity. The main caveat is that some users found the rear camera weak and a few reported poor connectivity or slow performance.

The line can be cancelled through Verizon chat, and some buyers report doing it the same day or within 3 days to avoid activation charges. Verizon may still post a small charge later, so it helps to save screenshots and confirm the cancellation in writing.

Yes. The phone is unlocked and not tied to Verizon, so it can be used on other carriers or plans after purchase. The Verizon piece is only part of the promotional activation bundle, not a device lock.

With a voucher, some buyers got it down to about $20 out the door, and one report put the total around $35-$40 after a later Verizon charge dispute. A Visible bundle was also described as about $110 total with a month of Visible service included.
funkadunk8 DiztortN SlickamoreStyle livefrugal
Yes. Checkout can require selecting a Verizon plan, and the cheapest option shown is $75/month, so the deal may not proceed unless you choose a carrier plan. The phone itself is unlocked; Verizon is only tied to the bundled line activation used for the discount.

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

Quote from RenStimpy

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.
