Help re: cell phone purchase

[Saddlebum]

I'm a real tech dum dum. I have one friend who has a smart phone and she knows little about it. I need to purchase one for my new job.

Requirements: WiFi, wireless, bluetooth, prepaid, I was given a $45 Verizon prepaid card to use so maybe a Verizon smart phone.

The bigger the screen the better as I have a hard time seeing the screen and need one I can view GPS maps on easily.

Would like it to be less than $100.

Is there one out there that meets these requirements? fingers crossed!

Figure out which carrier will work for you... maybe visit Verizon/Sprint/ATT stores - get rates and *look* at the phones and consider if you want iOS (iPhone) or one of the Google phones or Windows phones - their user interface will be different and only you know which one you feel you can use

Often you can get deals of phones through the carrier you choose. I got an iPhone for $99 through Sprint, but it's not a pay as you go. This sounds crazy, but look into phones as hsn.com. They offer smartphones with prepaid plans for very reasonable prices.

Thanks, went to hsn.com and found this phone. ?, can I get gps and wifi on it? I don't know how to find this out on any of these phones. I have a very simplie TracFone, my first cell phone that I'm finally comfortable with but it's not a smart phone, just a simple flip open phone.
