Web site 1saleaday offers up an unlocked Motorola Ultra Slim Unlocked GSM Cell Phone for the price of $19.99 (about $15 less than a similar phone via Amazon). Nobody is going to mistake this as a feature rich high end phone. There’s no camera and the data speeds are limited to EDGE. It runs on 850/1900 GSM so it’s primarily a phone to use while in the USA. For a no contract, unlocked phone - it’s hard to beat $19.99. Pick one up as a backup in case yours falls into the water.Take a look at Mitchell’s review of it here.
