    I have AT&T for service and have been using a Mororola V557 phone but now it has died. I need to replace it with another flip phone, but this V557 is a piece of garbage! I would like to stay with Motorola if I can.

    Any ideas on where to look for a decent used or refurbished phone?

    Though the Moto E8 has not been released by any carrier, it has been available through independent cellphone stores, but like it was mentioned, sounds like the OP is looking for a flip phone.

    LG does make excellent CDMA phones but I don't believe that holds true for GSM phones. Although the GSM LG's are reasonably good, I would prefer a Motorola over an LG fot AT&T.

    When I was with At&t I always got motorolas and nokias. Nokias had the better reception at least in my area.

    I am a Nokia person myself, unfortunately AT&T has not been carrying too many Nokias, that I like, lately.

    In view of that, Motorola would be my next recommendation unless one wanted to go into SmartPhones.

    I concur with Charlyee, from personal experience, with LG phones that is.

    Ok, so that brings us full circle back to the first reply to your post.

    I am not quite clear on whether you want to stay with a V557, if you do there are many brand new unlocked ones on E-Bay for around $100 - $120 and the used ones from $50 - $70. These are great price in my opinion.

    PS: The person I sold my V557 to 2.5 years back is still using it problen-free.
