Pretty much any pay-per-month plan will resolve your issues.

You can set them up to block texting.
No association with a credit card required.
Just buy a card to pay for the service every month or so.
My Net 10 costs $30.00 for sixty days service /300 minutes.
Minutes rollover if not used.

Phone was $9.99. No capability for “internet” activity, no pics, just calls and text, and text can be easily disabled.

It is my primary phone.

BTW, My child has Virgin Mobile.
Phone,pics, texts and internet (no ability to download anything that is not included in the monthly $25.00 service/no extra charges possible)

I monitor the incoming and outgoing calls and texts.
Still no track back to my personal bank account.
