    I love my ASUS Zenfone 5.

    Covers both 850/900MHz, so you have all carriers covered.

    Heaps of local vendors on ebay around $200 delivered.

    • Do you have the 8 or 16gb?

      • 8GB.

        • I looked at the 8gb but dont you keep running out of storage?

          Nope.

          It's a 'phone, so I don't do a lot more than make calls and SMSs and browse.

          We have a 47" TV if I want to watch movies.

          It takes a TF card up to 64GB if you need more storage.

    Moto G

  • 4G Huawei Ascend Y550 $99 Vodafone and save $101.
    OS Android OS, v4.4.2 (KitKat)
    CPU Quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A53
    Card slot microSD, up to 32 GB
    Internal 4 GB, 1 GB RAM
    pay $4-5 to unlock it on Ebay if needed.
    At this price if it was me i'd buy 2 and set them up identically ready to use 1 as a replacement immediately if i lost the other etc. etc.

    under $200 this is probably one of the best options and fairly recent model.

    the Lumia 530 is easily the best value phone on the market at <$50:
