Have used Samsung Galaxy SIII – looking for carrier / plan

I have been given a Samsung Galaxy SIII as a gift.
It is a used phone. The giver was using Verizon as the carrier.
I don't want to be locked into a plan.

I currently have an old beat up Android phone with an ancient Android operating system. The carrier is VirginMobile.

My needs are modest: 300 messages per month, 500 minutes of phone and 10 gigs of data would suffice.

Q1.) What non contract carrier / plan have you found to have useful service?

Q2.) What SIM card would I need for the carrier / plan?

May be you have some thoughts , suggestions on the best way to get this used phone in service?
