This is the Black Friday price of $29.99, available now. AT&T prepaid 16GB Motorola MOTO E5 Play phone [bestbuy.com] at Best Buy. Unless you plan to activate on an at&t plan at the time of purchase, make sure to click "activate later" before adding it to your cart. This should work with at&t mvnos, just pop the mvno sim in before turning it on.

-Quad-core 1.4GHz processor and 2GB of RAM
-5.2" IPS HD touch screen
-Android 8

This phone is difficult to unlock, according to discussion from last time this was a deal. So you'd only want it for at&t or an at&t mvno.
If you purchase something through a post on our site, Slickdeals may get a small share of the sale.

AT&T does have a plan that is prepaid where you pay $2 per day only when the phone is used. So why couldn't you use it just once a month for the six months and that would be $12 that you'd spend on usage. Then you would have six months and you could ask them for the unlock code

Bought one last time for me child to watch and play stuff on. No need to activate.

Thanks for letting us know! From what was said last time this was a deal, it sounded like Red Pocket shouldn't be a problem, but it's nice to know for sure.

I did that too. It was a long time ago. The rules have changed......or enforcement has changed.

Don't do it. I provided a link to the last deal in the op if you want to go through discussion there where they already hashed over how unlocking isn't gonna work anymore unless you have it on at&t 6 months, and unlock codes from ebay didn't work, either.
