Cheap Phone to Use With T-Mobile for Two Weeks?

[persistentone]

I am waiting on a phone from T-Mobile that might take a month to receive. I want a cheap phone I can buy used that I could activate on T-Mobile now so that I will have a minimal level of cell service while waiting for the real phone. Can someone recommend models I can buy for under $50 used that will be rock solid on T-Mobile?

Try Swappa, as that's often recommended on AF.

Apparently they got used T-Mobile iPhone 6S from $59. It's not Android of course, but it should work.

Also try Craigslist, for a cheap phone it should be fine.

Agreed. That was exactly my experience. Nice one.

If you want a new phone right away check Best Buy, Target, and Walmart for any unlocked Blu phones, some models are around $50 - $80.

But for a temp phone I'd get a used one as recommended above.
