Moto G3 ?

Virgin Mobile unlocking policy:
http://www.virginmobileusa.com/unlock/

They will unlock it after you've used it for 12 months, but only some phones will be unlocked to use on another carrier, they don't list the Moto G on that page so I don't know if you'll have success. Most VM phones (other then recent iPhones I believe) can only be moved to other Sprint MVNOs.

Thanks.
The list is not up to date so maybe later. It see that it says,"*Domestic SIM Unlock capable as of 2/19/15" and their Moto G has only been out since around Oct/Nov. Though, in general, VM doesn't seem as flexible as, say, AT&T.

Looks like VM is following the minimum voluntary agreement:

Yeah, AT&T and T-mobile are the easiest to unlock and move to another carrier.

Verizon LTE phones are GSM unlocked but some can be buggy when using on other carriers.

Sprint is the most restrictive.
 
Honestly, I wouldn't mind sticking with VM for another year but I am surprised at some of the negative reviews for the G3 on VM's site. I thought it was generally well regarded.

edit: I looked up the model # (XT1548) on willmyphonework.net and it says it should work on TMobile,
>>Band12-700MHz, Band4-AWS, Band2-1900MHz


...and I missed the sale, back to $149.99 from $129.99.
