Need a new cell phone help

[JD Miller]

Is there a good place to buy a cell phone?

Probably a samsung

Not sure what to get ? Do I need 5g ? Hardly any service is 5g anyway

Just a good smart phone for as less $$ as possible

Was looking at the A42 samsung , but I dont think need to spend that much , dont know?

I think you can get a phone cheaper than the service provider's deals ? ? ?

Im considering Visibles service, powered by verizon. It's $40 per month unlimited

[JD Miller]

OK,
This samsung A32 5g looks good, less money than the a42

I have always had iPhones…

I've always had I Phones, but Samsung are very good too. Get one that you can afford and you like the features. Most companies will sell you one with the service to be paid in installments somehow. I buy them outright from the Apple Store and for $4.00 more they even bring them to me personally.

Apple iphones are very expensive. I found out. They dont offer the iphone 8 anymore looks like

Visible offers pre owned ones. I dont want a used phone

I got a Samsung S20 a few months back and like it a lot. I jumped from a Samsung Galaxy 7 to this one. I bought it through T-Mobile and pay for it monthly.

That phone will last me for several years and I like the features. You don't have to spend that much to get a good phone, I just like to have a computer in my pocket.

Yeah, I want a good phone, because I keep them for a long time..Just dont want complicated over the top stuff I dont need and will never use.
Just a simple good phone. and if I loose it I wont be out a fortune

Even those chat help people on Samsungs website I found out , give incorrect info. Some of their "Experts" are idiots . I got wrong info twice from them

Buy a new line of phone always, they discontinue service and support for older ones rather fast. My old IPhone 7 had to be canned, so I got my daughter a 12 and kept her 10. 8 will follow suit rather quickly, don't buy that.

That sounds like good advice.

Seems the new line Apple iphones are all high priced, but androids you can get new line of phones that are varied pricing

I might just get the A32 5g or A42 5g.....(?)

My current cellphone is a Samsung Galaxy S9.5 that I used @ work & they helped pay for 23% of the initial purchase & 16% of the monthly bill. Now that I am retired, the discount will go away for the monthly bill & I need to get something that won't cost a C-note a month.

Apple I phones are out of the question & I am not paying a grand for another phone. Reading this thread helps, but not to the point of getting the new phone & service.

I will keep reading till that time comes as I am not glued to the phone all day.

Yeah , I thought , maybe Ill try a Apple iphone, people say the iphone is simpler.... Then looking at the prices WTF $$$$$$.
From what I can find apple doesnt make affordably priced new phones..... You can get a used out-dated i8 for lower $$$..... I dont want a used phone

FloridaAKM check out Invisible phone service, They are Verizon network. But you cant call them and get any info . Just a goofy website and a chat(suck) thing to ask questions
Its unlimited $40 per month total. No Tax/fees added later, they tell me

I think Im going to try Visible, switching from verizon

Nice thing about most android phones is they don't become obsolete in 6-7 years. You could use the oldest Samsung made. But, it would be slower and it wouldn't have as much ram, or hard drive space. And it wouldn't be able to run some of the newer apps.
