I am new and do not have a cell so I am looking for a compatable cell with at least a 5" screen and the best camera possible (12-13mp). thanks

@AFC, what do you want/need your phone to do?  There are so many options.

Do you have experience with any of the operating systems?  Do you prefer one over the others?

Personally, I prefer the operating to be basic and simple to use, and I don't want the fluff installed on it that doesn't work the way I expect it too.  I find Android-based devices to be my preference, although I have non-cellular mobile devices with iOS.

It depends on your price range.  You can get unlocked Android phones at Staples for around $200 like Acer and refurbished Motorola G Play.

It you are willing to spend more.  Pixel 3a has a very good camera and you get the latest software updates from Google.

Welcome @AFC 

Lots of great options out there but need a bit more info to recommend a phone.

Check on sites like Best Buy...you can get a refurbished Iphone or something similar for $150 or less. I guess it depends on personal preference but IMO...they want wayyy too much $$ for new phones of most any brand. Whatever works best for you and your budget.

Welcome to Public Mobile ...if you take that step.

It's hard for people to give advice without knowing how much you will spend and which operating system you want.

I'll get that one once I need to change

I heard a rumour that you can get it for 120 brand new if you shop around. If you shop fast Amazon has it for 170
