Total Wireless at Walmart is on Verizon's network, $25/mo for unlimited talk+text. $35/mo includes 6GB LTE data.
Even if you are not wanting data, get a phone that supports LTE, it will increase your chances of pulling in a signal since most towers are converting to LTE. I see a flip phone for $30 that has LTE.
In general, the MVNO's (network resellers) will have coverage maps on their displays. Red implies Verizon network, Blue AT&T, Magenta T-Mobile, Yellow Sprint. You generally want Verizon or AT&T around Puna.
