Moto G Power doesn't get text messages sent to me while it is off

The Verizon Message+ app is going away Nov. 7. Its a bad app but I need it for getting text messages sent to me when the phone is off. I've tried Google Messages and a bunch of other texting apps, the only one without this problem is Message+. I've had this problem since I got this phone new at the Verizon store in May 2020. I called Verizon in 2020, and went to the Verizon store yesterday, they are no help. Any idea why this might be happening? Is there any fix, or do I need to get a new phone?

3 iPhones & a Moto Z3 walk into a Group Chat and 1 iPhone gets no texts

I'm in a group chat and I periodically don't get text messages from the other members of the group chat. Me - iPhone 6. Other people - iPhone 6s, iPhone X, and a Motorola Moto Z3. If I group text with the other iPhones it works 100% of the time. But if all 4 phones are in a group text, every few weeks for the last couple of months I stop getting any messages from either of those 3 phones (6, X, Z3). We tried deleting the whole message chain, tried having the other people delete and re-add me as a contact using my number without a "1" at the front, and making sure there are no parentheses around it in their contact for me. I soft reset, deleted files, everyone rebooted their phone, and so on. Finally I got one of the new iPhones a few weeks ago. The problem persists! [more inside]

Moto G5 Plus troubles

My phone (moto g5 plus, Android 8.1) won't let me unlock it: I'll enter the code and the System UI (apparently) crashes and returns me to the lock screen. No problem, just reboot the phone, right? Except that the power button has also recently broken. Oh, and I thought I had USB debugging turned on, but apparently I don't, and I can't connect it to a computer in the normal way because I can't get past the lock screen to enable the USB connection. So I have 2 questions... [more inside]

How to migrate SMS, MMS, call history from Android 6 to Android 8?

Looking for easy/secure options to migrate data to a new phone, particularly SMS and MMS messages and call history. They are both U.S.-based Moto phones, if that makes a difference. My main concern is giving a 3rd party the ability to access all my texts/call history/contacts at once, so I want to be sure they're reputable and there's nothing iffy in their TOS/privacy policy or the ads they run if it's a free app, etc. [more inside]

Seeking Verizon postpaid replacement for T-Mobile Moto G prepaid phone

My folks have been using Moto G smartphones with T-Mobile. They’re light users, and they like the phones but they’re unhappy with the coverage. I looked into switching them over to a minimal 2GB Verizon postpaid account for better coverage, but Verizon won’t accept their phones. Verizon has a Moto G, but it’s for prepaid. Do you have any suggestions on an equivalent phone I could get them to replace their Moto Gs on a Verizon postpaid plan?

What can I do with a mobile phone with a busted sim slot?

Which unlocked phone to buy in the US for use in Israel?

I'd like to buy a phone for around $250 or less that I can use now as well as with a new SIM card from an Israeli carrier when I move there this fall. Would the Moto G4 Plus allow me to do that? Is that a decent option? An older iPhone? Other? I'm open to anything Android or iOS, as long as I can post to Instagram and play Pokemon Go. :)

Files on my phone that my PC can't see

I have a 3rd generation Moto G with Android 6.0. When I connect it to my PC with a USB cable, there are files that exist on the phone - mp3's and photos - that are invisible to my PC. There are other mp3's and photos on the phone that are not invisible. Why can't my PC see these files? Is there a way to make them visible? Is there a faster way to move these invisible songs and photos from my phone to my PC than copying them to Google Drive and then downloading them? [more inside]

Why did my Razr M home buttons shrink?

I have a Motorola Razr M that's a few months old, and recently the bottom row of icons on my home screen (my round "home" or "apps button and my favorites such as "phone" and "tools" have shrunken by about 20%.

Can I call a spoken/transcribed phone number in google voice voicemail?

I use google voicemail on my Motorola Droid. When someone leaves a message that includes a phone number that is different from the number they're calling from, google does a good job of transcribing it. As far as I can tell, however, there's no simple way of calling back that spoken, transcribed number. Instead, I have to memorize it, switch over to phone and key it in (and forget a few digits and switch back and forth and crash the car etc). I feel like maybe I'm just missing something simple, but I'm coming up empty searching for an answer. Does anyone know if it's possible?
