ZTE has made several phones for carriers that have sold for $10 over the past couple years without contract. They are locked to the carrier and require airtime purchases. No contract needed but unless an unlock is available, you are stuck with their minutes/data rates. Target stores had "Brightspot" which is a T-Mobile mvno and it went under, but they had $10 phones with these same specs last year at this time.

    Doesn't seem like that's an Android phone.

      It says "Operating System: Android OS" under "Compare to Similar Items"

        But the verdict isn't completely in on that. http://androidforums.com/threads/lg-306g-running-android.900142/ http://androidforums.com/threads/lg-306g-running-android.900... http://tracfonereviewer.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html http://tracfonereviewer.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html

        Thanks for the info. It's interesting that on Amazon, it says "Android OS" for this phone instead of just "Android" as it is for all the other phones.
