I bought a Tracfone couple of years ago .... Android LG with 4G. It’s great - suits my needs. I spend $20 every 3 months for talk/text/data- don’t need the ‘unlimited’ plan. Occasionally, I’ll need more texts or data (on a trip & using maps/directions, etc.). I probably text more than talk or anything else - I think I pay $5 for 1,000 texts if I run low. So $80/year for basic service with maybe another $30-50 if I need xtras. Cheap service, no contracts. Service is actually provided to Tracfone in my area by Verizon. At home, I’m on internet via Wi-Fi, so no mobile data used.
My folks have flip phones from Tracfone, mostly for emergency use.
I have the same phone/plan as you and am very happy with it.
