Community Reviews
This Moto G Stylus 5G 2024 deal centers on a factory-unlocked 8GB and 256GB phone that can be used on any carrier right away. The phone is described as a solid upgrade from the Moto G 2022, and Verizon activation can be canceled quickly with refunds of Verizon charges, including the activation fee, when the line is closed promptly. The main cautions are that the Verizon line starts immediately, the phone is out of security updates, and Motorola's preinstalled Glance app cannot be disabled. The price is also showing $199 now, so the lower promo may no longer be live.
Common Questions (5)
Yes. The line can be canceled within hours or a few days after pickup, and the Verizon charges can be refunded if you do not use the service. Some buyers completed cancellation through chat or phone in under 10 minutes.
Yes. The Best Buy unit is factory unlocked and can be used with any carrier right away, without waiting for a Verizon lock period. That makes it different from carrier-locked versions tied to activation requirements.
It launched on Android 14, is slated for Android 15 as the next OS, and security updates are listed through May 2027 with at least bi-monthly SMR updates. One comment also notes the phone is already out of security updates, so support expectations should be checked against the official update page.
Verizon does a soft credit pull for the line activation, which does not hurt your credit.
The preinstalled Glance app reportedly cannot be disabled and can interfere with some apps. If you rely on a sensitive or specialized app, that may be a practical reason to avoid Motorola phones.

When you order the phone, you have to sign up for a monthly plan. $75/mo was the cheapest I could find, and they mention a $40 activation fee. I was pretty nervous about this, especially b/c one of the terms you accept when making the purchase says something about returning the phone. However, it went off without a hitch. I spoke to a rep at Verizon who was very nice. the entire call including time in menus was less than 10 minutes. My bill was waived b/c of their satisfaction guarantee or something, so she said I have a 'billing period' but nothing will be due. Awesome!
edit - oh and the phone seems pretty cool! I'm not super picky or a power user, but it seems like a nice upgrade from my Moto G 2022.
