Wondering If anyone knows about any good deals going for any phone companies mobile phones that are unlocked that are not tied into a plan ? I mean a pre-paid phone /outright purchase for $50 or under & can accept Bali Sim card. Does not have to be a fancy phone.

Long story cut short - for many years,anytime we travel OS including to Bali we have these 2 old mobiles probably around 4 > 5 years old that we got for under $50 that are unlocked = any Sim card can be accepted.Has worked perfectly well for us for years just buying an Indonesian/Malaysian etc Sim Card to call/text home & to call each other.
Recent situation = son lost his expensive phone > Silly Father sucked in & lent son one of our phones without me knowing > son loses OUR phone = I find out = We now have NO 2nd phone to use on OS trips = me tell husband that he is stupid (& few other choice words)& that he should have not lent son phone in 1st place.
