Prepaid carriers like Verizon or AT&T. AT&T prepaid devices can be used with postpaid but Verizon prepaid devices must be used on prepaid for 3 months.

In my country (which is located in Europe) there are still a few places which offer iPhone SE brand new. Prices vary between 312 and 350 USD for the 32GB version all colors available with a 2-year warranty (1 year with Apple and 1 year with the seller).
Why not Ebay? They have a ton of them. I've made hundreds of purchases from Ebay over the years and have never once had a problem. They are as trustworthy as any other online store as long as you're buying from a reputable seller and you're pretty much guaranteed (by Ebay) a refund if you're not happy.
I agree 100%
There are quite a lot of genuine trouble free sellers and buyers on eBay.
And some have really good prices.
Perhaps the Op wants a clean one the trouble with eBay is that some of the descriptions are wrong I know this myself when I bought my iPhone 7 it was described as mint condition when it arrived it was not that way, eBay stepped in and I got £60 back so the phone was £200
My recent iPhone 5s was described as in excellent condition when it arrived it was this but the screen has a white patch on it and a yellow hue and the battery isn’t great which wasn’t mentioned, the 5s / se are a pain to replace battery’s with that flex right under the home button lol
If you live in the US, Apple is selling new SEs directly on their site in the clearance section.

If you live in Canada, Costco is selling them new.

TRue, but at least in the UK there are retailers — who sell brand new… not private sellers who may take a chance.
Anyway, as always, YMMV.
Yeah it still sells and could pick up one nearby if I wanted one at Curry’s a lot of the usual places have sold out though!TRue, but at least in the UK there are retailers — who sell brand new… not private sellers who may take a chance.

I recommended Bestbuy to the Op see how he gets on some good prices there Anyway shame it didn’t last in the UK
It’s true, the best source for finding a phone like the SE, would be eBay, even if it was selling for a premium price. The problem I have with eBay, is sometimes you have buyers who try to really fraud the seller in a variety of ways, and now that they have the six-month buyer protection, that alone provokes me to avoid eBay altogether.
They are back in stock on the Apple clearance site: https://www.apple.com/shop/refurbished/clearance/iphone
