I bought a phone on sale for 50$ at the Dollar Store, Its a 'Net10 Wireless' phone.
I recently bought a SD card because the phone didn't come with a lot of internal memory, nor did it already come with a SD card.

When i went to move my apps to the SD card, none of the apps had the "Move to SD card" option.

So it tried re-downloading the apps but they would only install to the internal memory.

The only option i have is to make my SD card the "Default Write Disk" instead of phone storage. But It makes no difference with were my apps are downloaded. But other than that, i can find no other options within Storage Settings.

Can someone please help me. I simply want to move my apps to my sd card, otherwise i will have no free space.
 
Welcome to Android Central!
Once and for all : Lollipop and prior versions can't put the apps on the SD card due to a Google security limitation.
Best regards,Mikey. For any more questions,PM me. I hope you found what you were looking for.

You should still be able to use the card to store media, like photos and music, but applications go to the internal storage.
