I want an older Blackberry just for a basic text/talk plan. Which model do you recommend?

I'll be heading to Canada for a year and am just looking for an unlocked Blackberry model to mainly just text and talk (and maybe play Word Mole). I was hoping to get a model for under $50 USD. I miss having a Blackberry and just want a model that won't be laggy and run pretty smoothly for 2016. I also may put some music on there if that matters for in terms of a recommendation. This will just be a secondary phone as I will use my iPhone when I have wifi.

Thanks!

Hi maybe a used q10? Word mole I'm not sure since I don't play that game

I don't see Word Mole in BB World, so I'm guessing it isn't available for the Q10 or BB10 in general.

So going down the list of options, a 9900 is what I'd say would fit your needs the best. Just make sure to get the UMTS 850/1900/2100 model and not the UMTS 900/1700/2100 model. If you're in the US, that's "get the AT&T model, not the T-Mobile model." What should help is that the former is more common than the latter.

9900

Work with BIS (BlackBerry internet service): Bold 9900
Without BIS (working BlackBerry 10 OS): Q10
Both of them are cheap and useful.
