$100 phones are $200 now. I know because all I ever buy are $100 phones. Below is my latest. Be sure to get a 5G phone regardless, as it gives you best chance of getting a ping as quickly as everyone else.

If you know who the best cellular provider in your driving locale is this is the time to think about switching if need be.

Amazon.com

Great for the money and new.
I paid alot for this s24 ultra 512gb. But now at about 1 year . Wife's s23 ultra 2 years old. Both work great..worth the money to me.

I have always had the best as it's a tax write off and it's my income. And I enjoy great phones. 15 pro max and hi end Samsung's.
It's a small price to pay to not miss 1 to 2 trips a week that are money rides. Phones in this business pay for themselves.
I had a driver friend Years ago . We only drove events surge . $2k plus everyweek.
He was cheap. Had older car. That's fine.
But omg metro pcs. With limited data. Really..
He needed wifi..all this to save a few bucks.
This guys car was to me a pos but clean. He only took longer trips.
Funny thing. Ubers algorithm knew this and gave him alot of 100 mile or so rides with big surges.

Another thing tmobile has a 55+ plan 2 lines $70 with tax $105 for 3 lines. I get free basic Netflix.. att. Verizon are really good. But the 5g and the plans are a steal.
I buy my phones direct from Samsung or ebay Samsung retailer with factory warrantee. On my note 10 +5g years ago. Saved $500

With wav a 2nd phone was great as it only gives you wav pings...primary phone gave you reg. Xl.
I juggled sometimes 3 pax going short distances by making them wait 10 minutes..
Not easy but like riding a bike.

I had a financial choice on lyft. Wheelchair only or all lyft. Combined.. no. Choice really. Cool thing is all rides are wav.

Samsung Zfold4 or 5.

Ok, not cheap. But running both app's side by side is very convenient.
