I need a cellphone.

  1. I can spend up to $300 including any fees. But cheaper is always better.

  2. A better camera would be nicer but I don’t need anything fancy for the phone.

  3. What’s the difference between locked and unlocked?

  4. I’m in the US now. I might move to Canada next year. I’d like my phone to keep working if I move. But it’s not a deal breaker and I need a phone very soon.

  5. From my ~3 minutes of googling - it seems AT&T has the best coverage where I live.

  6. Samsung A14. I found it when I was googling. Amazon has it from $99 to $180. I don’t understand the range of prices. How it is for that I need? In any case - I think it’s a useful benchmark for this thread.

  7. What am I forgetting to ask about?

I need to buy a cellphone and I know next to nothing about them. Long story short - I’ve lived without a cellphone for a very long time. I’m not a cellphone guy. For the phone I’ll buy I don’t think I’ll use it for much except talking on it when I have to and I hardly get around much anymore.

I’ve never used Instacart but I plan to and I assume I need a cellphone for it. I’d prefer to use Instacart entirely on my desktop but I assume that’s impossible.

    I have the Unihertz Jelly Star. It’s really nice. If you like a small phone with a lot of power.

    I loaded lineage OS onto it and it works like a dream. You just have to follow some guides on Reddit.
