There are always people selling their phones online through the marketplace (facebook etc). Maybe figure out what phone you want, and search on there for deals. (of course be careful of scams) but maybe that's where you can start if you haven't found an answer yet

Depends on what you're going for.

For the best "bang for your buck" in terms of features, consider a used LG Velvet. On sites like Swappa, they're well within that $200 budget.

If you're not willing to look at a used phone, then for a brand new budget phone under your $200 budget, here are a few options to consider (others may have better suggestions):
- Motorola One 5G Ace $230
- Motorola G Power $150 [lenovo.com]
- Nokia G50 5G $232 [amazon.com]

I'm not sure what your situation is, but if you can take advantage of a carrier deal, they might be able to help your $200 go further, but I can't really speak to options for people with troubled credit.

Personally, I'd look into the used market and maybe cover myself with some extended warranty protection in case that used phone turns into a turd in a month.

METRO by T-Mobile has Iphone 11 and Iphone SE for under $200

there is also a deal for Google Pixel 6a (unlocked) for $449 but you can get $300 back if you trade in a qualifying phone

you can probably find a Samgung Galaxy A71 for that prices on ebay (camera is fine)
