Virgin Mobile unlocking policy:
http://www.virginmobileusa.com/unlock/

They will unlock it after you've used it for 12 months, but only some phones will be unlocked to use on another carrier, they don't list the Moto G on that page so I don't know if you'll have success. Most VM phones (other then recent iPhones I believe) can only be moved to other Sprint MVNOs.

Thanks.
The list is not up to date so maybe later. It see that it says,"*Domestic SIM Unlock capable as of 2/19/15" and their Moto G has only been out since around Oct/Nov. Though, in general, VM doesn't seem as flexible as, say, AT&T.

Looks like VM is following the minimum voluntary agreement:

Honestly, I wouldn't mind sticking with VM for another year but I am surprised at some of the negative reviews for the G3 on VM's site. I thought it was generally well regarded.

edit: I looked up the model # (XT1548) on willmyphonework.net and it says it should work on TMobile,
>>Band12-700MHz, Band4-AWS, Band2-1900MHz


...and I missed the sale, back to $149.99 from $129.99.
