While the hot new mid-range Moto G7, G7 Play, and G7 Power are all up for grabs in the US at fairly reasonable prices from a number of major carriers and top third-party retailers, last year's Moto G6 can still be a very smart purchase at the right price. Frequently discounted on its manufacturer's official e-store, as well as Amazon, Best Buy, B&H Photo Video, and Google Fi, the incredibly popular 5.7-incher costs only $119.98 with a bunch of freebies included and absolutely no strings attached at the time of this writing.
The killer new deal is offered by Best Buy on a GSM and CDMA-compatible unlocked variant of the 32GB Moto G6 you can obviously activate on your network of choice, be it AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, or Verizon. The "catch" is you're looking at refurbished units here, although Best Buy's Geek Squad program is pretty much as reliable as they come in terms of the functionality and external appearance of devices reconditioned to a like-new state and rigorously inspected to ensure the "highest performance and quality standards."
Basically, you'll be getting a Snapdragon 450-powered phone with 3 gigs of RAM, a front-mounted fingerprint scanner, relatively thin screen bezels, dual 12 + 5MP rear-facing cameras, and rapidly charging 3,000 mAh battery that should look and work as well as a brand-new unit. Even better, you can add a number of other things to your Best Buy cart at no extra charge whatsoever.
We're talking about a $40 Cricket Wireless refill card, a 3-in-1 SIM card activation kit for the same AT&T-owned carrier, and a 3-month Mint Mobile prepaid SIM card kit granting you access to a wireless plan including unlimited talk and text, as well as 8 gigs of high-speed data a month. All in all, this is a $110 additional value you'll be getting totally free of charge alongside your already marked-down $120 Moto G6. And keep in mind you don't have to decide what carrier to activate your new phone on right away. You can even try out multiple networks, including Cricket and Mint Mobile.
