I have an IPhone and T-mobile service and am ashamed and disgusted that I’m paying money to either of these companies. I (and maybe other frenz) would greatly appreciate recommendations for best cell company and best phone. I trust the input from GAW more than any other. Thanks 🙏

I don't think there really are any good solutions for this both in terms of what provider to use and what product device to use.
In my opinion a better way to go about this would be to use a non-smart phone or a dumbphone or a featureless phone as they are now starting to be called. Then use the phone for strickly phone calls and perhaps text messages.
Use specific devices to control specific things instead of letting one device control you.
But if you still need to use the smartdevice and be connected constantly to the network but you want to "stick it to the man" or "dont like supporting evil companies" there are a myriad of MNVO (Mobile Virtual Network Operator) out there such as:
Mint Mobile(already suggested here)
TracFone
Cricket
one I would recommend is Patriot Mobile. (I don't use their service but it appears on paper they are trying to do good)
^MNVOs are not networks on their own, they piggy back off the networks and towers owned by the "big companies". I don't really know how it works but the MNVOs kind of pay rent to the big networks and in turn sell access to the big companies networks. So your still supporting the big companies in the end.
Patriot Mobile may have better prices and I don't understand the inner workings but they still use t-mobile cell towers. I personally am going to sign up with them.
