Currently with Verizon and contract is up. We each have a flip phone and looking to upgrade. I also have a MIFI device with contract ending on mid-September with a 5 Gig plan.. Wife is happy with her ...

ATT, T-Mobile, Sprint all suck in more rural areas. Stick with Verizon. BTW, set the flip phone down and back away. It's time for some new hardware.
I disagree.... about the flip phone anyway.
For me, yes, smartphone for sure...... but for some not so much.
My brother in law gave my Father n Law in his 80's an old iphone. He doesn't use the "smart part" and the dumb part (the phone) is harder to use.
If you just want a phone, with very limited capability for hot spot, maybe a quick email or gps look up, some of the flip type "feature phones" look promissing to me. I know because I looked at them for my father in law.
No way should you get a samsung unless you like bloatware and all sorts of "junk" on your phone. I mean really, who needs a "golf" setting for their camera?
They are only popular because they have a huge advertising budget.
Now for me, I was with iphone for years. Recently switched to a Moto X
I shopped around a lot. Settled on the moto x. Basic android experience, very capable phone.
Moto G is the lower end lower cost version
The Nexus lines are also good for a basic android experience.
HTC one is a nice looking high end phone
Iphone is nice, good hardware, very simple and intuitive...... Apple makes top notch hardware for sure.....but they haven't stayed with the times. Android offers a lot more in many ways.
Oh, I now notice that this is an old thread.... sorry.
