I have an old iPhone 6. It’s not working very well. I had it repaired once. Part of me wants to stop using a smartphone but I don’t think I can do it now.
I need to replace my broken phone. I’m not even looking for an upgrade. I just want something that works. I will either have it filtered or set it up myself through settings. I basically use my phone for shopping, banking, camera, email, messaging, Jewish news websites…
I don’t need anything sophisticated… I’m used to the older phone. Does anyone have any suggestions for me?

I have an LG astro 5.
Basically, when my old phone breaks, I go to my cell phone carrier store and see whats similar to what I am used to and cheap and buy it. They usually have decent deals for upgrades (doesnt have to be an actual upgrade. I paid like $125, I think)

Thank you. I have Verizon. I went to the Verizon store today and they said there are no deals/upgrades right now. I was hoping I would get a free phone or pay very little…
They did say that this could change any day and I should try again…

Thanks for all the suggestions

Anyone else?
I prefer something small (and not expensive)

Just look in Amazon for compatible Verizon phones. You can't find them for as low as 30 bucks

Total by Verizon BLU View 2, 32GB, Black - Prepaid Smartphone (Locked) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BB.....ss_tl

I would advise looking over the reviews and stuff..

Google pixel is great. You can get an older model for less, and they offer trade-ins with your existing phone through Google. You can get unlocked or Verizon.
