Earlier today, the carrier quietly added another smartphone to the GoPhone series, the $79.99 Microsoft Lumia 640. The new addition comes after, just a couple of days ago, AT&T added the Asus Zenfone 2E to its affordable GoPhone prepaid lineup.
Previously available through some retailers as well as T-Mobile and its pre-paid subsidiary (MetroPCS), the Microsoft Lumia 640 is one of the most popular Windows Phone 8.1 smartphones currently around, a feat that it has achieved through a balance of low pricing and decent hardware.
