Affordable prepaid phones

[bob60626]

It looks like there are some nice options, fwiw-
Lg L9- 200 online at TMO, apparently 200-50 at Best Buy if you pay with a Mastercard.
S2- Still 330 at Walmart online with a thirty dollar card.
Exhibit 2- 200 online with a fifty dollar card.
Blaze- 300 online with a fifty dollar card.

I think my Walmart S2 was about 360 after shipping and taxes.

Add the Nexus 4 to it at $300/$350 ... IF you can get one. Also, the Galaxy Nexus if you can find it online.

That's why I didn't list the 4, i think I've seen it for 400-500! The ones I wrote are all new prices.

Well the price in the Play Store is still the same, it's just not available right now. I suspect it will be back in stock on there though. But yes, it's true that T-mo is selling it for $500.

Check out Swappa or ebay. There are some reputable companies selling good (refurb) phones at a low price

aahhh....thanks. doesn't show up just navigating to the tmobile prepaid phones.

 

[ilcavallo]

but that best buy coupon expired on the 21st didn't it?

That $50 off $100? That was fun. Worst Buy had to redo their coupon to just a 1 day sale.

I have an eye on the new One S. Avg is around $350. I will be doing snipping until I get it.

i liked this phone as well but the lack of expandable memory was a no go for me

My S2 @ walmart was 315$, they do not make you buy the 30$ card. Wifes L9 was 210$. They work on contract plans. I know people are always looking at prepaid MVNOs to save a buck, but if you bring a phone like I did you can do tmo contract for less than 90$/month for the 2 lines. Thats a couple bucks cheaper than most, and we never hit close to 1000 minutes. You can also roam and use tmo talk over wifi feature. 79.99 + taxes and fees unlimited data (2 gb hispeed), I love it.

I saw the L9 today. You can get a new one for around $250. That is cheap with a 4.5" screen. OK, the processor is only 1Ghz but it doesnt matter.

I got an l9. They're $200 off contract at best buy. It's only a 1ghz processor, but it is dual core and I must say the phone runs shockingly well. Much smoother and faster than other dual cores with faster processors that I've tried. And it's 4G, what more could you want?

 

[chong67]

I dont mind a 1ghz processor too. It saves on battery.

How could it be this cheaper?

I think LG is a good company and it pressure other fon manuf to lower the price. LG makes Google phone.

 

[tube517]

That price for the L9 looks pretty good

 

[walmart989]

And the L9 IS very smooth. As responsive as my S2. If you feel that a phone is something to play on,talk/text on, surf a little, play some tunes,play a game,Facebook,you know- simple stuff, then it's a great phone. Only 4GB, but pop a memory card in and voila! If youwant to launch and run,say Skynet , then maybe not for you.

The Blaze is now $300 with a $100 refill card, the Note 2 650 with fifty.

 

[narutoninjakid]

the note 2 is what I got but its in no way affordable 😄

 

[Sepero]

Anyone try a knock off clone like the Star S7180 (Galaxy Note 2). It sells for under $200 in many places.

if you live in a refarmed area you should be ok
