Buying a phone

[ccdevmike]

New here. Been looking for compatible phones to use with PM. Is there a list available or what is best way to select a compatible phone?

Thanks

Ran across this if it may be good for users looking for compatible phones.

Hope it helps!

Correct. I would be getting a newer phone.

Thank you!

Yes, as long as it's not an old CDMA phone that doesn't take sim cards,

There is no complete list. Look for phones with at least UMTS 850/1900MHz. That part is required for phone calls, but can also be used for text messaging and data.  Ideally, you should also look for a phone with LTE band 4.

Best Buy, Amazon, Walmart, and Staples are a few examples of where phones can be purchased.
