I plan on buying a cheap 30 to 60 dollar phone for use on tmobiles $30 100 minute talk unlimited text 5gb data plan. I have been looking in to the lg mytouch e739. I constantly tether, and I did on my nexus 5 (r.i.p) with no problems. If I do get an e739, will I be able to root it? I called t mobile and asked if I was able to tether on the plan I'm on and they said no, so I'll have to root it I'm guessing. The reason I ask this is because this phone is super old and I'm not sure I'll be able to root it (super old OS, not a lot of support) If not, any other suggestions on a cheap alternative? (Needs to run on tmobile 3G, only coverage they have in my area so far)

Thanks in advance, Jake
