Intro Reaching Out Targeted Tech Budget Comments 18

Voice Voice + Text Voice + Text + Web No Commitments

Smartphones that are free or less than $50 out of pocket.

Sure, calling and text messaging are important, but sometimes you want more in a phone. The problem is, you can't throw down $200 for a fancy device that packs more power than your laptop computer. Instead, check out these smartphones. A couple of the phones are free when you sign a new contract, and the rest come in well under $100, so you won't have to choose between buying a new phone and paying the rent. But don't let that low price fool you. These are all capable devices, perfect for real Web browsing and keeping up with your Facebook friends.
