Community Reviews

This Moto G Stylus 5G 2024 deal stands out for factory unlocked use on any carrier and a solid midrange upgrade, with Android 14, support through May 2027, and a stylus included. Verizon activation can be canceled quickly in some cases, with chat or phone cancellations completing in minutes and charges refunded, including the activation fee. The main cautions are the required Verizon line and possible billing hassle, plus the phone is already out of security updates according to some comments. The price also appears to have moved up, so the original $99.99 offer may be gone.

  • Verizon cancellation can be completed quickly after requesting via chat, with an email cancellation link that finishes the process.

  • Verizon activation reportedly uses a soft credit pull that does not harm credit.

  • The Best Buy unit is factory unlocked, so it can be used with any carrier right away.

  • The device update policy indicates security updates through May 2027 with at least bi-monthly SMRs updates.

  • Verizon cancellation can be hit-or-miss, and some activations may require multiple chat agents to complete cancellation.

  • The one-time activation fee refund may not be automatic, and the deal terms can require careful handling to avoid extra charges.

  • The phone is out of security updates, which can be a major risk for ongoing use.

  • The $99.99 offer appears to be no longer available, with the price showing $199 instead.

Does this require a credit check and all that stuff?
They do a soft credit pull which doesn't harm your credit.

It was easy to cancel for me, only took a few minutes. After I requested cancellation via chat, the CS agent told me to check my email where he sent a cancellation link. I went to my email inbox and clicked the link he sent then cancellation was completed.
did you get the one time activation fee refunded?

How aggressive is Verizon in keeping phones locked if you cancel within the 3 days? Any worries about any payback issues or getting the phone blacklisted?

So the line is already created for you and the billing has started. It's better to activate a phone on the line and do a clean cancellation. You can always use any unlocked phone for it, the Verizon SIM will be stuck to the phone package when you pick it up.

I ordered this for in store pickup on 03/19. I called Verizon to cancel service early on 03/21.
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.

Yes, if you don't use their service and cancel quickly (within 3 days) then Verizon refunds everything you were charged by them, including activation fee.

Then you will have to pay regular sale price and won't get the additional discount that is provided specifically for activating when buying.

Worked for me. Picked it up yesterday. Cancelled with Verizon 3 hours after picking up the device. I have a helium mobile account on it right now.
