Att go phone

I need to get a go phone at WalMart to replace my phone for my att service with a regular sim card. I made the mistake last time of buying a discontinued Windows phone line with a micro sim card. I'm using it right now, not bad battery wise, but because of the micro sim card, I never replaced my old phone because I didn't want to go to the att store. My old phone is no longer functional, so my hand is forced. I have to buy a new one, switch the sim card.

I need a phone that goes online, can check email, come here, one that has a good battery. Have you guys ever used any of these phones? Any advice to give about them? Any of them too cheap but essentially worthless I shouldn't bother with, what kind of return policy does Walmart have. I'm not good buying technology, cursed ever since the Atari 5200.

Also does WalMart list the same prices online you get in the store or am I forced to make a purchase online only to pick the same phone up there.

I put Nathan in the poll by accident. Apologies to Nathan, I meant to write Kentry, didn't realize my mistake at the time.

Prices can be different on their website. 1 time I had them match in store and another time they wouldnt so I ordered it online for in store pickup. Went back to the pickup area with product in hand and asked them to complete the order.

What justifies price between models, what do you get if you buy a phone for $100 you don't get for $40? They all look the same, might be all good enough for my purposes, I just dont want to deal with crashing. Is the phone not crashing what you pay for basically.

Does it have to be a GO phone?

Can you use their straight talk service?

I like the Samsung Galaxy Sky, I thinks its about $119. I get much better service on straight talk than I do AT&T.
Other than size, I don't notice any difference between my Sky and my Note series phone. I'm sure if I was gaming with a power hungry app I would notice a difference in speed.

The At&t ZTE Blade Spark didn't look too bad for $99.

I think it should. Just Googled, said on att forum, as long as it is att branded. Could be unlocked to be used on att if not. Assume ill just look on the package for the att symbol. The reason why I'm looking at a go phone, because my brother said it doesn't extend the contract using them as replacement phones. I'll look into the phone, thank you for the recommendations.

Price dictates quality there will be differences in the screen, chip and features do these things matter to you?
I buy unlocked open box on ebay, last years top model phones will be about 200 instead of 700+

Anyone paying more that $60 for a brand new phone is getting ripped off.

That would describe all of the phones on that page. Don't even bother.

An unlocked Moto E would be a much better choice. It's more expensive cousin the Moto G5 would be an even better choice.

I need to get a go phone at WalMart

I have a AT&T go phone, made by Huawei. It works good, I've had it for two years. The one thing I don't like at all about it is, there is not enough memory for me to add any ap that didn't come with the phone. All the aps on it, I cannot get off of it. I've been to the ATT store twice, they can't help me either. I don't really have to have more aps, so that's good, but I would like to have the choice.

I thought by adding an sd card that would help, only to find the sd card only lets me store more pictures, which I don't want thousands of pictures on my phone. To aggravating, scrolling forever to find the one I want?

I have used it for a base station for my laptop in remote areas, it works well. Photo's are acceptable, text phone function are fine. Good battery life. ATT aps work ok, gps etc. Probably more value somewhere but that is my one complaint about small memory.

When I go to YouTube, I cannot reply to comments. When I go to another website, the buttons to bet are missing. How do you even know if a phone is going to continue having these problems? I've had phones before where something worked, then suddenly one day no more. Yahoo is like that. Cannot click on articles to open them, have to hard click to open in a new window to read the article.

Added: I've also.never seen embedded videos here. They just show up as white blank space. I have to reply with quote to see the YouTube code, copy and paste it on YouTube in the search bar, and view the video game once only one result comes up.

I've always had that issue here no matter what phone I have.

Did you find a phone you like yet?

I looked at WalMart last night, all they had on the shelves were $30 phones. I might just buy one of them, until I can decide. I truly have a psychological barrier spending $100. I'll probably try out one you recommended that you use. Does your phone work at video poker.com, not crashing, not freezing, not glitching? I think iirc the phone needs android 4.04 to work there.

Measure 400 times, spitball it. Wound up buying an LG Phoenix 3 phone at Walmart for $50. My brother was impressed by it, he thinks he'll get the same phone. I knew nothing about it, they only had two phones on the shelves, this one for $49.99 was their most expensive, so I gambled on it. Has a flashlight, button to take pictures, two things my brother liked about it. It's the same price at the ATT store if anyone is needing a phone. The only thing Ive found I dont like so far is I don't seem to be able to highlight, copy and paste like I can on this Lumia Windows phone. Also, I'm locked out from the forum, because Ive forgotten my password and the site never delivered the link.
