I have a Samsung Galaxy A10e through Tracfone, and I absolutely love it. It's currently available for $79.99 through Tracfone. We got one for DH more recently and he has the A20 I believe. He was switching from a second-hand iPhone 5, and made the transition without difficulty. I previously had an LG Rebel through Tracfone, and I would not recommend it. It was always turning itself on and taking pictures of the inside of my pocketbook and using all my battery power, and I only had capacity to load 3 or 4 apps, no exaggeration.
We do a monthly plan through TF and it costs us each $16. a month. There are usage limits, but we've never bumped up against them, so perfectly adequate for our needs. Right now, I have 9.29 GB of data, 19,180 texts, and 15,274 minutes remaining for the month. I can never really figure what the data numbers translate to in terms of my usage, but it's always more than enough, and the text and phone call limits are way more than I would ever need in this lifetime. I use a laptop as my primary device for data usage, so probably need less data than someone who just uses a phone and no desktop or laptop. I do use my phone a fair bit, although it is not a permanent appendage.
