Good place to buy a cheap no contract phone

[zod96]

I need a phone to replace my iphone. I just want a phone that makes and receives calls and some text. Could care less about the other stuff. Where is a good place to buy a cheap phone like under $50 and just pop in my old iphone sim card?

Go buy a gophone and swap the SIMs.

ebay, or here in FS/FT

There's plenty of older unlocked phones that should work for you. IMO you should get the moto RAZR (or w/e it's called). No frills but has excellent reception and solid sound quality for a fairly cheap phone. Should be right up your alley.

Last time I needed a phone, I went through the AT&T GoPhone plan. It's a pay as you go plan where you only pay for what you use and they have some resonable deals on some new and some refurb phones. I signed up, activated the new phone and account, pulled out the new sim card, put in my old one, and never looked back. It has work well for me ever since. I think I paid $19.99 shipped for everything.
