The Moto EX431G is a full QWERTY keyboard phone from Tracfone for use on their nationwide prepaid service. It is used on GSM networks, most commonly AT&T (We will cover more on the GSM network further on).

The Motorola EX431G comes with some great features that make it a good choice for texting and everyday use. It is fairly similar to other Tracfone devices like the http://stephaniefulke.blogspot.com /2012/09/review-of-tracfone-lg-500g-prepaid-cell.html">LG 500G and http://stephaniefulke.blogspot.com /2012/11/tracfone-review-lg-530g.html">LG 530G.
This phone, as the name suggest, comes from the American mobile phone company, Motorola, which was recently acquired by Google.
Important Note: It is important to be aware that there are two option for the Moto EX431G, one with Double Minutes for Life, and the other for Triple Minutes for Life. At this time, you can only buy the Double Minutes version on the Tracfone website, but you can get the Triple Minutes Moto EX431G on Amazon. Be sure you read the details about this phone when you go to buy it.
Next we will go into our likes and dislikes for the phone.
Moto EX431G Likes and Dislikes
Starting with our Likes: |

Triple Minutes is a great deal with Tracfone. It means that for every minute you purchase and add to the phone, you get three. So if you buy a 60 Minute card, you will get 180 minutes total! And don't forget to use a http://stephaniefulke.blogspot.com /p/tracfone-promo-codes.html">Promo Code for even more minutes.
Remember that some versions of this phone only come with Double Minutes, so look carefully when buying this phone to be sure you get Triple Minutes.
The QWERTY keyboard on the Moto EX431G is probably one of the best features about this phone. It makes for fast and easy texting, although for those inexperienced with QWERTY keypads it may take some time to adjust to the small key size. If you tend to prefer larger keys, like the Alcatel Big Easy phone, then this might not work for you.
Finally, The price for the Moto EX431G is nearly unbeatable. This phone doesn't have the most advanced features, but it does give great value. It is currently $10 on the Tracfone websites (for the Double Minutes version) but you can get the Triple Minutes Moto EX431G on Amazon for $8.
Moto EX431G Dislikes
There are a few things we don't really like about the MotoGO, and will mention them here to help give you a better idea of what this phone has to offer. We will start with the Mobile Web.
This phone comes with Mobile Web, which allows you to surf the web from the phone. But it does go through minutes quickly, and is hardly worth it. Perhaps the most you will want to do is download new ringtones.
Another problem with the Mobile Web on the Motorola Ex431G is that the top right button is a shortcut to open Mobile Web from the home-screen. And each time you accidentally hit that button you are charged 0,5 minutes. It is annoying, but most will become accustomed to avoiding that button.
The MotoGO uses its own operating system which means it won't run Android apps like Tracfone's other smartphone devices. But this isn't so much a dislike as a heads up, if you're expecting a lot of additional features, look into our http://stephaniefulke.blogspot.com /p/cell-phone-reviews.html">reviews of the Android Tracfone devices or http://stephaniefulke.blogspot.com /2014/03/iphone-4-and-4s-coming-to-tracfone-byop.html">Using an iPhone with Tracfone.
Overall, we don't have many dislikes for the Motorola Ex431G. It is a simple phone that provides good features and performance. It is a good choice for either a backup/emergency phone, or for those who enjoy saving money on cell phone service.
Overview and Final Thoughts on the Moto EX431G
The Moto EX431G is a good phone with great features and a nearly unbeatable price.It runs on the GSM network, which many people might prefer if AT&T and T-Mobile service is strong in their area. (for more on what GSM means, read our http://stephaniefulke.blogspot.com /2013/07/tracfone-gsm-vs-cdma-phones.html">guide to GSM Vs. CDMA)
At just $8 on Amazon for the Moto EX431G with Triple Minutes, if you have a phone with double minutes you should seriously consider switching.
