As with America Móvil's other brands (TracFone and Net10 Wireless), Simple Mobile offers a broad range of phones depending on budget, ranging from free, low-end Huawei phones to premium iPhone and Samsung Galaxy models (one to two generations behind the current models) that can be purchased on an installment plan. With the exception of iPhones, all of Simple Mobile's phones run the Android operating system. In contrast to Net10 and Tracfone, Simple Mobile only offers service through T-Mobile's network and thus its phones will not work in areas where T-Mobile does not offer service; Simple Mobile does not ship phones to these areas.
