Quote:

(a) "This week, Motorola introduced the second generation of its Moto E, a budget phone that starts at $120 — without a new contract. The $120 model supports only 3G data speeds, so web browsing or streaming video will be slower than on next-generation 4G networks. (The higher speeds are not always available in the countries where the Moto E and its ilk are big sellers.)

"But for $150, you can get a model that supports 4G and has many of the software features of higher-end Motorola phones, like the Moto X, as well as a fast processor, the latest version of Android (Lollipop) and a selection of accessories for personalizing the phone.

(b) "And of course, combining any of these phones with a less expensive prepaid mobile plan can be the icing on the cake. If you don’t need a lot of data — maybe because you do your web surfing, video watching and emailing from your home or work Wi-Fi network — you might be overpaying for your mobile plan, too. Most carriers offer prepaid plans that don’t tie you to a contract and can start as low as $40 a month.

My comment: There is no need to read the rest.
