I've had my current Samsung Gravity for at least the last 5 yrs & it's time to upgrade soon!
These days, I don't really talk or text much & I don't access email. It's mainly for emergency/have-it-if-I-need-it purposes. I do want some important safety apps, such as if you're being followed, you can alert the police or at least contact someone quickly.
I pay $38/mo & want to try to stay at that range if I can help it. I wouldn't mind trying an iPhone, but I'm open to other good brands too.
If you don't talk, text, or send email, it sounds like you might be okay with just a basic phone. Some of the Windows phones are under $100 without any sort of contract.
Actually, you might be okay with a non-smartphone. The battery will last longer and the phone won't go out of date as quickly. They are usually under $50.
For your use, I would really recommend getting just a talk and text plan. AT&T has an unlimited talk and text plan with no data for $30/month through GoPhone. Other carriers have similar plans.
Thanks...now, I do still want a smartphone. I said I want some apps on there. I don't want a basic phone, but it certainly doesn't need all the whistles & bells. I knew pretty quickly that I probably won't get an iPhone though.
I'd honestly get another Samsung. I like that brand.

Do you have T-Mobile? What plan are you on? Do you include the price of the phone in the $38/month, or do you intend to purchase the phone outright? If so, do you want to spend $50,$100, $150,$200?
T-Mobile and AT&T both offer 1000 minutes which are good for one year for $100 plus sales tax, that seems like the best deal and the extra minutes roll over if you renew before they expire.

Yes, T-Mobile. I paid for the phone outright & I get like 300 nights & wknd & unlimited on weekdays of calling & texting. Again, I don't talk or text much. I just like to have it if I need it including those app I mentioned above.

You didn't specify how much data you get for that price, so I will assume 1 GB.
Telcel America a Tracfone subsidiary and is a Tmobile MVNO with a very good plan for $31.50 a month ($35 without auto refill). Although you may not have an immediate need for the international calling, I think it's a good price even if you only make domestic calls. If you find you need to make international calls then it's nice to know they won't cost any extra.
