Consumer Cellular also offers T-Mobile SIMs.

I use Consumer Cellular and am generally satisfied, especially with the support, as you mention. However, they are sleazy when it comes to their data plans.

You select an amount of monthly data you'll be allocated. If you go over that data limit, they automatically bump you onto the next higher tier, without charging you exorbitant overage fees. So far, so good. However, the following month they don't automatically lower your data limit back to the original setting. So unless you expressly reset your data plan, you'll be charged the new, higher fee indefinitely. Your data plan fee ratchets up, but only goes down with your intervention.

On top of that, they have an alert system that notifies you via email and/or text message when you hit, say, 50% or 75% of your data usage. Very nice, except they will NOT notify you when you exceed 100% and they bump you up to a higher-priced tier.

So while I like some aspects of the company, and the price is reasonable, they use shady tactics to trick you into paying for more data than you need.
