I need a cellphone.
-
I can spend up to $300 including any fees. But cheaper is always better.
-
A better camera would be nicer but I don't need anything fancy for the phone.
-
What's the difference between locked and unlocked?
-
I'm in the US now. I might move to Canada next year. I'd like my phone to keep working if I move. But it's not a deal breaker and I need a phone very soon.

From my ~3 minutes of googling - it seems AT&T has the best coverage where I live.

Samsung A14. I found it when I was googling. Amazon has it from $99 to $180. I don't understand the range of prices. How it is for that I need? In any case - I think it's a useful benchmark for this thread.

What am I forgetting to ask about?

I need to buy a cellphone and I know next to nothing about them. Long story short - I've lived without a cellphone for a very long time. I'm not a cellphone guy. For the phone I'll buy I don't think I'll use it for much except talking on it when I have to and I hardly get around much anymore.
I've never used Instacart but I plan to and I assume I need a cellphone for it. I'd prefer to use Instacart entirely on my desktop but I assume that's impossible.
Would like to add the budget phones are a ripoff, the performance on the Samsung A's is abysmal, if you've ever had a phone way past its prime that was prone to stuttering they're like that right out of the box. I usually get a refurbished Galaxy that's several years old, you can still get years of use out of them and you can get solid discounts especially if the exterior is dinged up, you're likely going to be putting a protective case on it anyways and they always replace the screens. Also second getting a MVNO provider, I don't really use my phone a lot when I'm not in range of wifi and pay about $20 a month.
