It's a good phone but you can't root it. Verizon locks the boot loader. Also it was $25 with a $25 Best Buy rewards credit a few weeks ago so not a great deal.
I confirmed with AT&T that you need to stay 6 months on their prepaid plan before they'll unlock -- not sure what the fine print is with Verizon (I've seen a variety of scenarios in their user forum) but I'd assume the same is true for them too. We bought the first (and now second) gen Moto G unlocked and put it on Straight Talk. We ended up getting a far better deal than going directly with AT&T or Verizon (on the CDMA model). I'd research carefully before buying.
