I have a Moto G Play (2021 model). I think it was like $100 for the phone at Wally World around Christmas time. My past 3 phones have been Motorola and haven't had any issues with them. Ok, the camera ain't the 1 brazillion pixels but it's a phone... . I ain't takin' pictures from my phone and expect them to be blown up into a poster print or anything. 13-megapixel is just fine for my needs.
Nothing fancy, it makes and receives calls (kinda like a phone is meant to do), text, web surf but who uses their phone as a primary device to surf the web? The damn screen is too small... and trying to type on a phone is a PITA.
My cell plan is through Verizon. $25/month (originally $40 then a $10 discount for loyal customer, $5 discount for auto pay on the bill) plus taxes and stuff and it comes to a bit under $30/month. Plus I'm not locked into any contract or anything.
- Unlimited minutes for calls.
- Unlimited texts.
- 5 GB data/month that rolls over unused data each month. I probably use 1 MB of data/month (on an extreme case) over the cell towers. If I do use the phone for web stuff or music streaming it's most likely running on a WiFi connection at work so that doesn't count on the data usage.
- Can also use it as a WiFi hot spot if I really needed it to.
