Motorola Moto G8 compatability with PublicMobile

I'm looking at outright buying either the Moto G8 Power or the Moto G8 Plus (both are 260$) and was wondering if PublicMobile supports either or both of the phones. Open to recommendations and tips if you know of any other phones in Canada that match performance for under 300$ as well. Thank you! (Note: I use my phone for Pokemon Go, Facebook/Messenger, Instagram, Steam, and my TD Mobile Banking)

We just registered a second account today with a Moto G8 Power. We were able to connect with no problems whatsoever.

I bought my Motorola Moto G7 Power from Amazon.  It is the Latin American model with dual sim slots.  As far as I know, all Motorola should work with Public Mobile.  The model your friend purchase is most likely the US model which has only one sim.  It got set up instantly with no problems. 

@lcarol all models of the G8 power are compatible with Public Mobile.

You can also confirm this by taking your PM Sim out of your phone and putting it in your friends phone.

Just wondering if you ended up purchasing the Moto G8 Power and it's working?

Hi! A friend of mine has purchased a Moto G8 Power (unlocked) from Best Buy to hopefully use on PM. Can you tell me if that's the model you're using with no problems please?

 

Thanks!

I am using Motorola right now.  Works great and setup was done in an instant.

@chrisbasm Yeah they aren't available in the compatibility checker, probably because they are newer.

@AUserHasNoName based on these 2 links they are both 100% compatible has both the required 3g and 4g LTE bands.  You can't go wrong with either of them. Stay safe.
