Budget devices for reframed areas

[DirtyDee]

Well me being strapped for cash , am often unable to justify spending over 150 for anything.. I figure I am not alone here are some phones from att with LTE that caught my eye maybe yours as well. On eBay for a Motorola atrix hd my current device it could run you near 130 used even less for a gray or black one. In the reframed works great for me so far. Also Sony xperia ion and TL the both look fine bit more pricey tho. Now for my point I want this thread to give those looking for used phone at low prices to know what will work and not break the bank I will hope you guys can find more LTE phones maybe even cheaper ones (I am in the market for a couple) maybe we can get an average going.

the moto g and nexus 4 are two top devices that id consider for budget gsm users. nexus 4 goes for about 200 and a moto g is gunna be 180ish. its a tad bit more money than getting an older device, but if you are really trying to think moneywise i imagine spending an extra 40-50 bucks on a phone that would outlast another for a few years. as it stands the nexus 4 has several years of development left for it and updates, plus going quad core vs dual core can mean the difference for a lot of things.

a few months ago i had 120 bucks to spend on a used sprint device, i was gunna go with an evo lte it had specs similar to the sgs3 and seemed like a nice device. i came across a craigslist post that had an lg optimus g for 150 in like new condition, splurging the extra 30 means i get a device that performs twice as well. plus thats coming from a guy who doesnt like lg .

obviously life hits when you least expect it to, if youve got 100 id say a lumia 520, if youve got 150 do some shopping around and you might find a good deal. if you have 200 consider the nexus 4 or moto g. another thing i would suggest especially being on prepaid, is pick up a crappy huawei phone or something when you have a bit of extra money, they are terrible devices but should you smash your current phone and need a phone now and dont have the money to drop on another, you may end up thinking have a spare is awesome.

Wirefly has F3's for 129. That's like a bigger screen Motion and that's decent for that amount of money.

If you can do $130, in my opinion, I'd scrape together about another $60 and get a (just) good condition 8G Nexus 4.


But yeah to everything else the Shabbster said.
