Cheap smartphone that Skype works with

mexicano

Has anyone got a suggestion for a fairly, (between £50 and £100), cheap smartphone I can buy that I can use Skype on? I will only be using it on wifi.

I've looked on ebay and some of them state they have front and back cameras but when I asked the supplier they told me they don't work with skype

Thanks for any advice.

I am pretty sure that all modern smartphones have Skype app available.

I think you can find Moto E for less than £100, also, Galaxy S3 mini for ~£100, some Nokia(s) Lumia. I am not sure about front camera though if you really need it.

>> Is Moto G still the best cheaper smart phone
>> New basic smartfone reqd

In fact there are smartphones even below £50, but they can be annoyingly slow.

Also, for wifi only you can consider a tablet instead.

If it's only for Skype and only on WiFi, why not look for a cheap used laptop? I sold a really good one recently for £40

Thanks for the replies but I am looking for a phone, i.e portable, to use skype on the move, like restaurants and coffee houses that have wifi. I use skype on my pc at home. I just w0nat to use skype outside. Tablets are ok but not very small to fit in a pocket
I will look up the phones mentioned.
Thanks

Moto G is best bang for your buck, there are some cheaper options such as the Moto E, but the G is a fair bit better.

E lacks FFC which might be a deal breaker for a Skype user.

Front Facing Camera.

Yeah, I think a FFC would be pretty handy if I wanted to Skype I found some Moto G on ebay for around £115 new but tomorrow I'll go to Carphone and Phones4U and see if they have some cheaper ones. I'd rather not buy a secondhand phone.

Buy one from Vodafone and pay a couple of quid to get it unlocked

Skype video calling (front cam) works good on my Moto G.
