Thanks for posting. So i ended up doing just what i did not want to do, and i'm back in Android land. My reason is because the network provider, Mint, offered 3 months at $15/month, at least as a teaser, and they sold me some screen phone with android for about $60. The deal with Mint is they require phones which are "4G LTE and VoLTE friendly". So i think my search should have been for the right network, which can support the kind of device i want (namely, something as close to the free world as possible). So next time i search, i hope to do it more intelligently. dan
