OT: Best cell phone plan for light use?

[joe at actionline.com]

Thanks to everyone for the very helpful info.

So, I'm now considering fi.google.com -or- ting.com
but their websites are confusing (to me).

Can fi.google be used with any android phone?

I also wonder if it might be time to "upgrade"?

I currently have a Note 2 with an AirVoice sim card
and a Note 3 with no sim card that I currently use only
with wifi and not as a phone. Paid $200 for Note 2 and
$250 for Note 3 and but should I consider something else.

The only things I don't like now are all the apps that the
phones keep prompting me to update (like Samsung Internet
Browser and Bloomberg) that I don't even want on the phone
but can't delete or get rid of ... plus so many nuisance
apps that keep posting notifications every day that clutter
up the opening that I can't stop from showing up every day.

So ... let me open pandora's box and ask which phones would
y'all recommend?  I realize this is personal preference but
it would interesting to know which phones are your top choices.
