Hello thank you for your support! I have broken my phone and I am looking for a job but no employer will employ me unless I have a phone. I am currently looking for a decent android phone around $250 USD or less. No real specifications except I need to be able to get to my contacts easily, calls are easy to make, and still gets updates. Again thank you for your support, I truly appreciate it.

There is also Blu's smartphones on the market that are also unlocked. Although they don't support 4G/LTE I believe just 3G or lower, it is still good phone I believe. I think you might need to flash the rom because I heard the software optimizing isn't that good.

There is a Samsung Galaxy S3 and S4 Mini Unlocked...

Moto G/E is a good value too.
