Will Moto G be available for standard Verizon customers?

From everything I can find, it will be available for Verizon prepaid, but can't find anything regarding it's availability for Verizon customers under-contract.

Looking to sell my current phone and purchase this phone outright, has everything I need and a good design.

Will there be an unlocked Moto G that can be used on Verizon?

Not sure, but I can't see why you couldn't be able to buy it outright. I imagine if they do offer it subsidized, it'll likely be free on contract. Guess we'll have to wait and see until January.

Right now, I think it's only selling on the GSM bandwidth, on Motorola's site. Sometime in 2014 when Verizon may offer it for prepaid.

Will the prepaid version also be available by non-prepaid verizon customers?

Because the phone looks almost identical to the Moto X and costs much less, wouldn't be surprising if verizon makes it so it cannot be activated.

typically a vzw prepaid phone can be used on a contract account after the phone was active in prepaid for 6 months.

So, after 6 months it can just magically activate? Doesn't make sense. What happens in that timeframe that makes it able to use on a contract line?

Called them today. One person said it might work, the other said would have to wait the 6 months.

This phone probably won't be available unlocked to buy, it looks too stylish for the price and would probably outsell the Moto X.
