Looking for an Inexpensive Burner Smartphone for Home Security App

eBay has tons of used iPhones—you can find locked ones for really cheap! I picked up a like-new iPhone 6+ for about $145. It works great on Wi-Fi, and I bought it mainly for music and streaming.

If you can use Wi-Fi, there's no need for a cellular service. You could find a cheap locked phone on clearance at Walmart for about $20-30, which might work perfectly for your needs.

If you're only using it once, have you thought about using an old phone from someone you know? Many people keep their old devices for emergencies. You could also go to Walmart and grab a prepaid phone for around $20-30, set it up just for Wi-Fi without activating it.

Amazon is a solid bet! Look for older Google Pixel models; they're usually compatible with apps you need. Just make sure they’re unlocked, and you'll have plenty of options.

Have you checked for refurbished phones in your area? Often, businesses swap out employee phones regularly, and you can find refurbished ones that are factory reset through specialty vendors.
