Inexpensive Cell Phone Recommendation

[billbenson]

A friend who doesn't make much money needs a new cell phone. GPS, text, Androide. decent reception,not much more. Does anyone have any recommendations? Used would even be ok, but I'm skeptical of rebuilt stuff.

Check Wal-Mart. The cell phone isn't the expensive part anyway....

I say Walmart too. Who is his service provider? I'm sure they have phones for sale.
You can get a phone running an older version of Android that does the basics for under $100 from pretty much anyone.

Nothing wrong with refurbished if you're on a budget.

Wallmart it is.

Thanks guys

Hi Bill,

I've never tried them, but I've been reading J. Money's blog for years and he's legit. This maybe a good option for your friend.

Thanks, I think she has her heart set on a more expensive phone. Here I go again, helping out friends that don't have money.

That always seems to be the story... haha!

Just a thought, if she is a long-time customer of a company, she can try to negotiate a price.

I told my internet provider that I wanted to spend $45 on my internet and needed 300gigs (they were charging me $125/m), they refused, but when I wanted to switch providers they said "oh, we have a new plan for you that just came out"... hahaha... I got exactly what I wanted ;)
