Right now, Amazon is offering a brand new Lumia 635 for just $39.99 off contract. This version of the phone is meant for AT&T's network.
The Lumia 635 is one of our favorite budget Windows Phone devices. It features a 4.5-inch display, 512MB of RAM, and 8GB of internal storage, which is expandable with a microSD card. The 635 also has a 5MP rear camera capable of shooting 720p video.

Deal Alert: Get an AT&T Lumia 635 off contract from Amazon for $39.99
635 is an awesome phone .. I just added Qi charging to mine and it's gotten even better!! - i've picked up all the different color shells (except green) so i can rock it in any color!
the only thing I dont like about it is that it doesn't work with polarized sunglasses when it's in lanscape mode .. seriously -- try it yourselves.. it's weird!!
Now.. Just doing a few things.
I went to buy a 640 on Cricket this morning. None in stock. In fact the game store geek working there had never even heard of the phone. Im beginning to think this phone is just a myth. Doesnt seem to exist. Almost ready to buy a 535 just to have a 5 inch screen.
you can buy one (640) online from cricket wireless
Buy it from them online.
I own a 635. Since I don't need the features others seem to miss, it's a perfect phone for me. For the price can't be beat IMO.
A while ago I purchased a Lumia 520 to be used while waiting for the next great Lumia flagship. Another 520 + a 635 later I'm still waiting. They get released but they aren't available to me or AT&T butchers them, like they did with the 1520. Next, a 640, because the AT&T version of the 940 will probably have half of everything that matters in a Lumia flagship.
The 635 would be a great first smartphone for anyone. The start screen could be set up with just the stuff mom dad or grandma care most about. It's versatile and dependable. Gotta love the price too. Only the eventual arrival of the fabled 640 shall dislodge me from mine.
But all of grandma and grandpa's apps wont be available...like tinder, etc..
Out of stock now!
I bet this is clearing inventory for the 640. Once that's actually available, that should help out WP in the US.
Sad we are looking forward to the mediocre 640...
If you don't want to wait you can get the same thing off the rack at any WalMart for $10 more. Mine has been my daily driver on Cricket (owned by AT&T) for 5 months now.
I thought I got one for $35 last year….

I've been considering getting one of these for my Mom and adding her to my mobile share plan. It would be her 1st smart phone but she really wouldn't use most of the features, just needs a good cheap reliable phone for calls, texts, and battery. I'm concerned about the crap 512MB of ram. Still worth it or try to get something better?
Ma will be fine with the 635. Battery life is stupendous. The big turnoff for me is no LED flash to use as a flashlight. Something no gal should be without in my opinion.
Cool thanks. I wish I could get her the new Nokia 105 for $20. That would be a great little phone for her. But I'm not sure if this phone will ever be available in the U.S.

I love all these so called "techies" that only talk about specs and flagships. Because you guys render high quality full-length movies or graphic design projects on your smartphones, right? Stop being tools and be a little more realistic. It's sad when the newness of your toy defines you as a person.
I purchased a 635 to test the WP waters and have been satisfied with the device itself. It does everything I need it to do minus some hiccups with the OS itself. Aww darn, I can't waste valuable time playing the higher demanding mindless games on it, but I can get work done without any issues. The device has been smooth and the battery life has been pretty good. I'm happy with the 635 and will be for some time to come.
I absolutely love my 635 and I just got another one for free with that bundle at the Microsoft store, when you buy a Fitbit Charge.
Works beautifully on cricket
Shows unavailable? Out of stock?
Yeah, that went quick. Price back up to 46 something.
. . .
I want the 830 on sale.
What's a good on sale price?
I bought one for $199 off contract during the MS store sale end of March, and kind of regret it. My almost 2 year old free Lumia 920 is better than the 830 in some aspects so I miss using it. And by still not having the full DENIM update for the 830, I don't think it was worth $200. Debating whether or not to sell it soon!
Kind of regret my 830 purchase as well. Man miss my Lumia 920 my first flagship phone at the time. Sadly it got a cracked screen 2 years ago.
picked one up used for a similar price a month or so ago and I'm blown away. Performance is comparable to my 920, battery life destroys... the only major things I'm really missing is Qi and the nice camera + flash.
I bought 2 of these phones last Christmas and my moms phone has had major issues with the buttons on the side not working and the sim card not being recognized.. Not sure if I should buy another one.
On mine the audio jack is acting up and that's pretty much what i use it for..
Windows phone has lost 1million users this year in the US... Cos of phones like this lol and no flagship
There will be a flagship coming up sometime later this year after Windows 10 is released.
sigh, yes we know. Just wait for it.
Yeah well a lot of people on 2 year contracts since 2012-13 were ready for new flagships since last year. Too bad U.S. carriers have zero interest in carrying or supporting Windows Phones!!!
Why launch a flagship phone now when windows 10 is coming out. The big boys phone will always come out later in the year. You will start to hear things between mid August to November. Always do and it has been that way for years. They are coming. Part of the marketing strategies.
Dunno why no Lumia 930 variant was released on either T-Mobile or at&t I use a Lumia 930 and its a good replacement for my at&t 1020 but no LTE which sucks. I just hope the flagships coming later this year are good/better than what's available to bring back that 1million and even more users
What makes you think either carrier wanted to stock that phone? High-end Lumias don't sell. No one wants them. AT&T and T-Mobile knew this and the Lumia 930 only had mediocre reviews.
That logic doesn't make sense. The 1520 was carried for nearly two years despite Nobody wanting windows phones. It also doesn't make sense since carriers do carry the m8 and up until recently the ativ se on Verizon. So you can't say nobody wants high end voice.
Daniel, I love how when you come in here breathing logic and reason, because, you know, you live this stuff. Then some dude always comes after talking like you don't know what you're talking about despite you having a JOB all about this stuff. Always makes me laugh man! Always makes me laugh!
Yes because Daniel is always right no matter what huh ? Stop shooting other peoples ideas down just because it doesn't come from someone you hold in high regards as evidence by you almost kissing up to Daniel. ...not the way to live. The guy rightfully challenged Daniels thought and no this isn't saying Daniel is wrong. The M8 was stocked as well as 1520...Daniel said nobody wanted them. Not true.
Nah
This comment has no logic or reason.
I don't like it. The fuckin snarky shit could be handled better by someone who wants to be a real journalist.
Can you please stop kissing ass lmao. Daniel is a windows phone enthusiasts like the rest of us. We are free to have our opinions and ideas as he is because that's the beauty of having an opinion. It's not as if Daniel actually works for Microsoft or anything presently.
"High-end Lumias don't sell. No one wants them" ok, so Microsoft's been putting out mid to low range Lumias in the U.S. and lose a million users. They obviously wanted to released McLaren, that didn't work and the cost is rapidly dropping Lumia marketshare in the US. They cal get away with releasing low end Lumias in 2nd/3rd world countries, for instance Pakistan's Lumia market share increased in the past year, but not in the US, u need a High end to compete, the Lumia 830 or 640 are not going to cut it. Don't say "high end Lumias don't sell", there's absolutely no logic behind that statement, I still know people who wouldn't drop their 1020s cos there isn't a replacement. Microsoft should have released a Lumia 1020 with 930 specs while they work on their futuristic phones.
There's talk now of Lumia flagship Cityman & Talkman both 3GB Ram 5.2" & 5.7". & all the bells and whistles.
Nobody wants them. Microsoft should cancel them...
Based on Danny Boys logic...you are right...which is very much like saying fuck my job, what I represent (WP, of course he'll say MS in general is the mission of WC, yeah right, on that one)sucks harry balls....all written in public no less, wtf, man?
Because they already missed a cycle by canceling last year's Mclaren. They could have prepped another by spring and made sure every carrier that got it was ready to update to 10 the day it rolled out.
Very understandable. They have been sluggish. I had to settle for a Lumia 830 after my 1020 started acting up. 830 feels slow and jittery, especially if you have a large Cortana live tile pinned. Performance gets better if the tile is brought down to the smallest size. To test, go into any app and then exit with Windows button. You'll feel the difference in tile loading.
Check your background task. That might help with your performance issues and many of your tiles also. I like apps and I tend to makes my phones run slow by loading apps like crazy just for the load test.
I don't have these Cortana live tile issues on my 830. Using the large tile pinned for months. No issues like that. Then again I STILL DON'T HAVE REAL DENIM! Maybe that's why. Lol.
@awneze Can you provide a source for that statistic?
Windows Phone loses a million users in USA since the beginning of the year http://wmpoweruser.com/windows-phone-loses-a-million-users-in-usa-since-...
Find it surprising that there is even a million WP users in the US..
It's a race to the bottom. I wonder who'll win?
I don't understand how they could be losing users if low-end Lumia's continue to hold #1 spots on sale lists (e.g. Amazon).
More WP users abandon it and probably went over to the iPhone 6 and some to Android then new users coming to WP!
I went back to iPhone 6 and now went back to WP with the 735. I swap out the nano SIMs depending on my needs for each day. Today I went shopping and went to lunch mean iPhone time.
Because they are dirt cheap for a touchscreen media player/point & shoot camera.
If you build it they will come! #SurfacePhone
Agree. Microsoft failure here is of it's own choosing. The US market has too many high end phones competing and the Lumias are two or more years old at the high end and the Androids are more powerful at the low end.
Be reeeeeeal nice when we get that 1GB RAM version...
A couple of days ago the post was up, & the 635 was the 1GB ram Same vendor same price
That was the 535 and from Expansys not amazon!
There actually was a post about a 1GB 635... wasn't of any use to us though because it was for Virgin Mobile.
Lol
Come on 640
At least it could've been the T-Mobile version for that price. That'd make my day
Meh, ATT and their MVNOs are way better anyway.
Out of stock now.
