Flat-rate calling recommendation

I'd like advice for my brother's cellphone contract.

He is currently using a Galapagos mobile phone, with a flat-rate calling with a Docomo.
He has a small income and is very stingy.

Recently, there are flat-rate calling plans available with low-cost SIMs, such as mineo. However, IP phones are not allowed.

I am wondering if it is possible to change this to a smartphone.
Cheaper is better, of course, but it is better to be able to communicate with the internet in a reasonable way as well. Less than 3000 yen a month is good.
He has very little IT knowledge. I doubt if he can set it up himself. So then I may go to his home and help him to set it up.

Mineo's MySoku Standard + flat-rate calling costs 2,200 yen/month.
POVO + flat call rate is 1650 yen/month, but data rating is slow.
Do you have any other recommendations?

And I don't need advice that he can't do it!

Thank you.

Is OCN mobile ONE not a candidate?

OCN mobile ONE new course 3GB + flat-rate calling costs 2,420 yen/month.

I'm sorry if this is an unreasonable suggestion.

The cost is not cheapest, but the device is discounted. It's one of an attractive choice.

同じキャリアの電波を使うMVNOであればBANDやSIMロックの問題がありません。
電話機ごと新調するならもちろん何でも可ですが。
各社のプランを比べたことがないので、そこはどなたかお願いします。

Thank you.

He hasn't had any smart phone.
And lives in very countryside. That's why I think ”docomo" is a good choice.

Thanks anyway.

Furthermore, if he change his electricity contract to "au denki", same plan is 1,760 yen/month.

Thank you.
He is 53.
It is attractive plan.
And it's easy to be supported by UQ or Ymobile physical store, I think.
And I think it's hard to change the electricity contract because of their character (^^;

Thanks anyway.
