What Budget-Friendly Phones Work Best with Public Mobile?

Mova — Sun, 10 Sep 2023 21:42:17 GMT

I'm in the market for a new phone but don't want to break the bank. I've been on Public Mobile for a while and would like to stick with it, so I'm curious what budget-friendly phones you all have found work well with this carrier. I'm open to both Android and iOS options.

I have a refurbished Motorola G Pure that I bought last year for $165 (tax included) and it works perfectly, I'm very happy with it!

I would recommend the unlocked Samsung A03 or A04 from Staples for around $170 or the Moto (Motorola) G Play at Costco for $199 (when it is on sale, it will be $139) or if you want a 5G phone the Moto G Play 5G on sale at Costco with $100 off at $299.

The entry level Samsung would be your best bet.

iPhones are a lot pricier unless you get a refurbished iPhone 8 or X which will stop get the latest iOS 17 in a week or two.
