I'm looking to change to an unlocked BB and service

I've been with Virgin Mobile for most of my cell phone life, which has been about as long as Virgin has been in existence. I've never had any problems with them, until Sprint bought them out And seeing as they aren't going to fix their craptastic app thats been installed in my phone that wont work, I'm looking for a change.

I did have a Blackberry phone many years ago, and I loved it. So, I'm looking at getting an unlocked Blackberry KeyOne.

I'm sorry, but these companies have made it near impossible to simply just get a phone and pick a service.

Before cell phones, you would go to the store, pick a phone, buy it and go home and plug it in. Then you would pick the phone provider you wanted. That simple.

Now you have to know all this technical, computerized crap, as well as "geek speak" and "computer code". I have enough migraines just dealing with the company I work for every day, I don't need it when trying to find a phone.

I've been reading up on this stuff and understand very little of the rhetoric I've had to read on android phones and BYO companies.

What I want to know is..........If I get a new, unlocked Blackberry KeyOne phone........

What companies in the USA give 5 star service for "bring your own unlocked phones"??

I don't need more talk time than data time, I need more data time than talk time.

I also need easily to delete bloatware.

I need to be able to pick my own voicemail app.

I also need to keep this around/under $35 a month. (I pay $35 plus taxes a month on Virgin)


Sorry if this is confusing, but I've lost patience with this and need some help from anyone who understands all this BS.
