Got them at WalMart.
Pre-paid Android smart phones.

Extremely cheap!

You can use for countless projects.

Of course, they all can call 911 because US law says any cell phone must be able to always call 911 even if it is not activated. This is great, keep one in the glove box of you cars for emergencies... or use the smartphone as a GPS device and stick it on your dash...works great, tells you directions to any location...all free.

I use one 15$ smart phone as an internet radio...I heart radio app. Works great!

If you install the free Hangouts Dialer you can get a free phone number and make free long distance calls over wifi...we have used it for several years.

You can watch hundreds of TV stations for free. I watch One America News for free all the time...so cool.

These things are tiny media powerhouses that are being virtually given away for free.

I have one here that just displays the weather radar for my area all the time.

You can’t go wrong....

I'd forgotten about any cellphone (even unactivated ones) being able to call 911. That reason alone is enough to go pick one up and give it to my in-laws who refuse to pay a monthly cellphone bill, to charge one and stick it in their glovebox in their car for emergencies. That is such a great idea!

BTW: like your creativity and how you're using cheap cellphones for various types of devices. Ever consider starting your own thread and posting all your uses and ideas? I'm betting other Freepers also have other uses and ideas, and not just for cheap smartphones.
