Apple itself sells refurbished iPhones and other products. They're a little more expensive (and you're giving money to a giant corporation with questionable labor practices still), but it comes with the assurance that the item in question is in decent shape.

Another option is BackMarket or even Best Buy if you want to avoid giving money to Apple. (I personally own an iPhone, MacBook Pro, and iPad, so I'm not telling you to avoid them completely... they're good machines.)

As for the service provider, check out Republic Wireless or Mint Mobile! Both are good, inexpensive alternatives to places like Verizon and AT&T. And they aren't even paying me to tell you that!

DOES ANYONE HAVE ONE THAT ACTUALLY WORKS AND WHERE DID YOU GET IT??????????

I’ve tried buying the exact model number listed as compatible from actual reputable dealers and they don’t work.  I’ve tried a pixel 3a and a samsung s8. I don’t want the moto g7 because the wifi never works and I had that problem with the last moto I had and it sucked.

Republic Wireless is a non-traditional mobile carrier working on the idea you’ll you’re always near a safe and fast Wifi connection. It’s a lot like what Project Fi is doing with working on both T-Mobile’s and Sprint network, handing off the connection to whichever is the best. The company is now venturing into hardware, and not the traditional carrier branded phones; they’ve announcedthe Relay.…

May 2017 – Republic Wireless Bill

During the last month of my plan Google Photos kinda fucked with my data by syncing my photos while on cell data. So almost two weeks early I was out of all my 1GB of data allowance. 

I changed how google photos works (no cell data usage, only sync when plugged in) so that shouldn’t be an issue any longer but I use cell data to send pictures to my clients while I’m away from wifi so each picture uses a little bit of data. 

Long story short; I used almost 200MB of extra data. My bill just came in and.... republic didn’t charge me for the extra? That’s... surprizing. Not that I want to test them on this, of course, but I was worried about racking up a lot of extra fees because of the goof up.

POSSIBLY USEFUL

If you’re really a data hog (or using your phone as your home Internet access device grin), T-Mobile’s “Unlimited” LTE plan (prepaid) is $80/month, which starts to beat out Fi at over 6GB. (But you shouldn’t use it until you hit 10GB,…
