Get an older model or a refurbished one, or buy off of the sites that buy them as trade ins.


This. We get our phones off eBay. There are very reputable sellers there and I must have purchased at least 8 phones over the years (for me, 2 kids, DH, my mother). My favorite model is the Samsung Galaxy S4 which goes for about $100.

Get at least a 5S or a 6. Or an iPhone SE.

For reference Gazelle is selling iPhone 5s for ~$180-200.


Yes. It is. Plenty good enough The kid will complain, perhaps, but that says more about your community than the phone is different than phone not being functional.

I have the Moto Z Force, and I love it. They redesigned the charging port so that it wouldn't have the issue that they had with the Turbo 2. They are expensive, though, unless you can find a deal on them. When I bought mine at Verizon, they were buy one, get one.

The 5 is fine. Should be good for 1-2 years at least. 5s even longer. Or get a newer model android.

What is your budget. I got my kid an iphone 5s for about 150. My kid is thrilled so far because it takes good pictures and it just works.

Whatever phone you have right now and get yourself an upgraded phone. No teen needs a new phone and you already know how to use yours.
