I'm going to suggest swappa.com for buying unlocked phones a couple generations back at a cheap price. I've been using an s20 I think I picked up for like 150 bucks the last couple years without a problem.. And I just picked up a Pixel 7 to put graphene on so I can you know not have Google up my ass all the time.
It's all significantly cheaper and all you have to do is put your SIM card in the new phone as long as it's unlocked you're good.
I'm more than willing to try any alternatives to swapa it's just the only company that I've used thus far outside of an eBay situation.
I really like swappa for the ability to return the phone to the seller for refund.
In theory eBay also allows this, but since it's a core feature of the swappa marketplace that it gives me comfort that the phone is listed in good faith and they haven't misrepresented the phone.
I suggest it to anyone I know looking for a phone
Used swappa many times, can confirm it was good at least a few years ago.
