Instead of posting on this thread over and over and over again, why not try searching the vouchers section? Or just doing a Google search? Or contacting Tesco Direct?
If you don't find anything then chances are there aren't any floating about.
Picking mine up next week, bargain at this price.
If your scheme is so good, perhaps you and your best friend should concentrate your activities in making 20 grand a week for yourselves EACH instead of sharing it with strangers.
Now begone with your spam, foolish child.
no
No memory card slot but I put together this thread shortly after I got mine for cloud storage options:
hotukdeals.com/fre…e=2
Connect your usb cable to MOTO G - create a new folder in the internal storage & name it media, open media folder and create folders ringtones, notifications, audio, video, wallpapers. Drag and drop your ringtone in the ringtone folder and do the same for notifications etc. Click on settings of phone - sound - phone ringtone & assign your desired ringtone.
Hope this helps !
Or just use an app like the popular and free 'Zedge' for ringtones.
Do you know how to search the internet?
I think the comment refers more to the masses, even in your case you had to buy it first to realise it was unsuitable, if everyone does the same then the manufacturer is winning, whether you kept the phone or sold it on (_;)

Shame it has no microSD card slot to expand the memory...
Ok thanks for the info, as I said I wasn’t sure
If you're after buying a handset outright and haven't previously had any 'flagship' devices such as S4, HTC One etc then you will not be at all disappointed with this. Bought one for mother out-law at christmas and I was really surprised how it stood up alongside N4/N5 for the price. I didn't experience any lag, battery life was acceptable and it feels decent in the hand.
Camera could be better, but it's actually pretty decent. It's a smartphone camera and a smartphone camera in a 99quid phone. Personally I like the lower quality images that smartphones produce, stick the pics through an instagram style filter an appreciate them for what they are. If you want to take sharp, bright photos of the kids or holiday scenery then buy a dedicated camera.
Unlocking works fine through ebay seller mentioned on here. We sent IMIE off later on a sunday evening over christmas hols and it was back with the hour, great service.
8gb may be a little limiting for some - just ask yourself how much music do you want to carry around permanently on your phone as that's where most of your storage will go. Most apps don't take much storage really - apart from some larger games. If you're keeping Gb's of photos on your phone then you should really sync them to somewhere else anyway as if your phone breaks/lost/stolen then your photos are gone.

I have bought-and-sold about 15 of them already and have 2 myself, all been unlocked by either Simon or the mnz-technologies for about 2 quid on eBay. Each of codes worked for me:)
I can live with the battery life on my N4. I use Battery Saver and get down to 30-50% each day, so I charge each evening but usually it's fine for me. Also the custom ROM support on the N4 is far superior to the Moto G currently. The Moto G is a brilliant phone for the money. The N4 camera isn't great but I couldn't live with anything less and the Moto G camera won't be as good. I use the camera for CamScans and work related photos where I use the macro mode. N4 wins for me the Moto G would be a slight downgrade and not worth the effort to change anyway.
If anyone is reading this and use stock N4 rom then I recommend this ROM (there is a stock kernel version available as well from the same developer if you prefer stock kernel), I use that ROM and regularly update to the latest version, just going to update to 2.7 today >

Some of the comments above say that they have, the general consensus is that it will happen officially on 24 January
I had issues unlocking mine (purchased from Tesco). First two attempts failed. In the end used an alternate server suggested by eBay seller SMGreen and that worked a breeze. Chances are though that you won't have any difficulty getting an unlock code - it's only a small number of the Moto G's that are problematic like mine. Very happy with the unlocked phone now though
Kitkat seems to be a staggered roll out. Lot's of sites saying it's been launched, a few people here and there saying they've gotten it. My 8GB Moto doesn't have it yet, I'm checking about once a day. In no real rush, be great to see what it brings to this already cracking handset.
(BTW, Motorola is now owned by Google, that's why it's getting it before any other handset, except the Nexus)
Because it's a deals website. People come here for...uh...deals.
Many would disagree. Feel free to enlighten us if you can find a better phone for £99, let alone £130.
Will be interesting if it does, as - and correct me if I'm wrong - Tesco Phone Shop is different from the Tesco Direct site, and they don't have it in stock, whereas this deal is being sold by Tesco Direct
Bought 2x in Dec, really happy with both.
Got both unlocked from the mnz guy on ebay for £2 and worked a treat.
They are not Tesco branded, but do have a slightly different rom to the standard moto G's although the only diff I can perceive is i think it says tesco in the about phone part by the rom version somewhere.
I bought a S Line case from Ebay and it's really good (jelly case).
Also finally the screen protectors with the above case are pants so I'd recommend buying the TuffSkinz protector from Amazon.
I bought the matte one and it's really nice, recommend using the method 2 for fitting.
These were £1 for 2x when I bought them, but up to about £3 now.....still well worth it IMO.
Hope this helps.
Great Deal Ordered
Thanks!

It's the wife's mate and she hates it lol only because it takes a bit of thinking about, she was so used to windows os and can't get used to it ,and asked for her htc radar back but cex gave me £38 for it so she will have to get used to it ,I had a play with it and for £99 it's a no brainer the moto x when released next week will be interesting to see what price it is
you seem to have everything linked to apple, there probably isnt an all in one app that can cover all the above, youll most likley need various apps installed to cover those things. possibly Googles equivalant services.
Thanks for your reply. I'm sticking with the N4 as it has NFC which I do use with programmable NFC tags. However it's good to know that the Moto G is a close competitor to the N4.

£74 then,honestly,some people

Or buy a proper phone with a microSD card slot? Google is really p***ing on the customers with these phones with no card slot and charging £30-£40 for 8GB memory, when the value is around £4.
