One of these days I'm going to dump Sprint and Apple. Consumer Cellular is a great deal, I just looked at the $80 Motorola E5 Play that you talked about and it looks like a nice phone for the money.

I know with my iPhone I actually have to be connected to WiFi (even though I have unlimited data) to download upgrades and normally I have it defer to WiFi anyway so I don't see why that phone would be different.

As far as the NAV apps like Google Maps if you are away from WiFi, without data coverage you won't be able to download the map data. But you can download the data before you leave.
