HI @Popeye1961 

of course you can use 4G.  Those 5G phones are more costly just becaue they are newer, not really because of 5G

and you can stay on a 4G phone for very long, so just buy

But what phone you are buying?

Are you looking at a particular phone? There are cheap phones at Staples and other electronics departments that would likely work here.

All Public Mobile plans give access to the same networks, so yes - assuming that your phone can connect to a 5G network in that location. When Public Mobile advertises plans as being 3G , 4G, or 5G, that's only about the maximum possible speeds.
