Meet Motorola’s Next Generation Smartphone—the Moto G4

We’re happy to announce the arrival of an exciting new smartphone from one of the most respected names in the business—Motorola. The Moto G4 is the latest addition to the popular and trusted Moto series, and it comes loaded with enhancements that guarantee great performance. And here’s even more pleasing news: you can get it now for only $150!

The Moto G4’s Android™ 6.0 operating system and 1.5 GHz octa-core processor provide the ability to run multiple apps at the same time without slowing down—ideal if you’re a smartphone multi-tasker. It also includes 4G LTE capabilities, the latest technology for the fastest Internet connectivity. And there’s a generous 16GB of internal memory, which can be easily expanded up to 128GB by adding an optional micro-SD card.

If you rely on your smartphone to capture high quality photos, you’ll really be impressed with the Moto G4. It comes with a 13MP resolution rear camera and 5MP front camera, along with a 5.5” full HD display screen. In addition, Motorola’s unique “Quick Capture” software lets you activate your camera with the flick of a wrist. No more missing out on that once-in-a-lifetime shot—you’ll be able to take beautiful, lifelike pictures with impressive ease.

As you’d expect from Motorola, the Moto G4 is solid and dependable. Its thin, streamlined construction makes it easy to use with just one hand, and its water repellent design offers protection against common spills and splashes. An upgraded 3000 mAh battery delivers up to 30 hours talk time on a single charge, and there’s also a TurboPower charger feature which gives you 6 hours of power in just 15 minutes of charging—perfect for those times when you find your battery running low just as you’re heading out the door!

For a great Android experience, you simply can’t beat Motorola—especially at this affordable price! See this versatile smartphone in action in our video tour below. You can order the Moto G4 online, at Target or Sears stores, or by calling us at (888) 345-5509.

  6. Jerry Bryant says

    My wife and I are currently with Verizon and we don’t have removable sims. Will they work with your network??

    • Ashley at Consumer Cellular says

      Thank you for asking, Jerry. In general, phones used previously with AT&T or T-Mobile are the best fit, and you wouldn’t be able to use a device that doesn’t take a SIM card with our plans. However, we do offer a variety of devices with some starting at just $30. You can view them on our Phones page here. Of course, we’re also happy to answer any questions you may have over the phone at 888-345-5509. Thanks again for commenting today, and we hope to see you as a Consumer Cellular customer soon!

  7. Fran says

    Just bought a Consumer Cellular Motorola G4. How do I reset the ringtone to a song I have stored on my SD card that I installed in the phone? Not talking about the SIM card.

    • Ashley at Consumer Cellular says

      Thank you for asking, Fran. If you want to use a custom ringtone, it may take a few extra steps. You’ll need to plug your phone into a computer, then go to the files saved to the phone. From there, go to Internal Storage, then the Ringtones folder. Copy the song you want to use into the Ringtones folder, and you should see it as an option when selecting from the ringtone list when you’re on your phone. If we can assist you with anything further, please don’t hesitate to call us at 888-345-5509. We hope you’re enjoying your new Moto G4, and we appreciate you posting today!

  8. Victor Ortiz says

    My new Alcatel Pop 3 got locked when I tried to set it up; is locked with some messages and an availability to make an emergency call. How can I unlock it and start in fresh?

    • Ashley at Consumer Cellular says

      That certainly sounds frustrating, Victor. Please try restarting your phone by turning it off, then back on again. This should fix the issue and allow the setup process to start again from the beginning. If you are still unable to connect, please give us a call at 888-345-5509 from another phone and we will be happy to troubleshoot that with you. Thank you for reaching out to us today!

If this should ever happen again, you may be able to pinpoint your phone’s location with Google Device Manager, a service that is included with your Android account.

  11. Dennis says

    Will the Moto G4, if purchased through your website, be upgraded to Android Nougat immediately, since I have read that the G4’s are already receiving the update from other wireless providers? Also, does Consumer Cellular change anything in the phone software or does it come as it comes from Motorola?

    • Ashley at Consumer Cellular says

      Thank you for asking, Dennis. All device updates come directly from the manufacturers, so you will get any software updates as soon as Motorola releases them. The Moto G4 does come with our app installed, but otherwise we do not make any changes to the software. We’re happy to answer any other questions you may have at 888-345-5509, and we can even help you order one today! We appreciate you taking the time to post, and we hope you have a wonderful day!

    I have had my Moto G4 for two months now and it is a pleasure to use! My question is: when will it be upgraded to Android 7.0? Or, can I upgrade it manually?

    • Ashley at Consumer Cellular says

      Great question, Lawrence! Software updates are released by the manufacturer, so Motorola will send it to your phone once it becomes available. You’ll see a screen appear prompting you to update the software, so just follow the prompts.

    I have had my Moto G4 for a couple of months. It continually drops calls – I problem I never had with my previous Motorola phone. Is this a glitch with the G4?

  14. Lori says

    Hi. My friend just got a new Motorola phone with Consumer Cellular and she has several unknown numbers calling her. Is there any way to block unwanted numbers.

    • Ashley at Consumer Cellular says

      Thank you for reaching out to us, Lori! If your friend has one of our newer smartphones, she can program certain numbers to be sent directly to voicemail. She’ll just want to save the phone number as a contact, then tap “edit” in the corner. From there, select Options, then check the box next to “All calls to voicemail”. There are also a variety of call blocking apps out there she may want to try. Please remind her to register her phone number with the Federal Do Not Call registry as well, which should cut down on the unwanted calls. If we can be of further assistance, please feel free to call us at 888-345-5509. We appreciate you posting!

    Can you put a SIM card in the Samsung S6?

    • Ashley at Consumer Cellular says

      Great question, George! Most newer smartphones do have a SIM slot, which you can find by removing the back cover.

    I am trying to purchase a protective case for my Moto G4 I just purchased at Target yesterday. I see all kinds of variables, 3rd generation, 4th generation etc. on-line. I cannot locate anything locally. How do I know which one to purchase? Can I purchase one directly from Consumer Cellular?
