cheap cellphone for facebook marketplace.

1,714 344 April 22, 2024 at 09:08 AM
Hi, My sis is retired and she sells stuff she finds locally on Ebay but of course shipping kills the deal.
I suggested Facebook Marketplace and she's giving it a shot.
She has to deal with people on the phone to give directions and stuff and obviously it's unsafe.
She wants to get a cheap phone to use just for facebook marketplace, i guess some burner flipphone thing or whatever an old person would use that can text and talk.

Any recommendations for something like this? I know she has an iphone 10? with tmobile now.

She's retired and wants a completely seperate cellphone.
I will probably just end up going to walmart and see what's hanging from the shelf, to get a no contract prepaid, but i have never done that before so i dunno if tracphone is better than cricket or what.
I think i need to go to walmart and look for the $30 flipphone in the plastic that comes with a half hour of talk time that you can buy $20 top off minutes later when it runs out.
I haven't done this before so when i see a row of phones i won't know which ones are bad or good.
