It's not $50. There is a monthy fee after purchase of the phone.

In Reply to: I honestly don't understand why you would turn down many jobs over the posted by course of a year rather than the one-time cost of a $50 phone. sm on Thu, Sep 30 2021 at 07:22 PM CDT:

: You don't have to sign up for a monthly service plan. Once you have the phone, it can also run off wi-fi, which I'm sure you already have to have. Download the app you need for work, run your phone off wi-fi, and I'm sure you'll be making enough at the job to make up for that one time cost of a $50 smart phone, which are available through tracphone, etc.

• Let me re-word this. Did you mean I can buy a smartphone w/o a data plan and leave it on my desk to use with only wi-fi? nm Fri, Oct 01 2021 at 01:35 PM CDT (9)
  • Thanks! p.s. I found this one on walmart.com. Do you think this would do the same thing? sm Sat, Oct 02 2021 at 06:33 PM CDT (6)
    • To be used as a cellphone with a working phone number, you have to activate with some type of carrier. sm Sun, Oct 03 2021 at 02:28 PM CDT (1)
      • That's the info I gave her below. With these cell phones, adding airtime is as little as $5, and that activates service. Sat, Oct 09 2021 at 02:18 PM CDT (0)

      • Yes, you would need a working cell phone to receive texts or calls. Luckily, you can get the lowest pay-as-you-go plans pretty cheap. sm Sat, Oct 02 2021 at 07:37 PM CDT (2)
