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.

Thanks 😊

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.
