Verizon informed me I need a new phone by January 1 that is 4G compatible. Will my phone truly not work after that? If I cave, what's the best bang-for-the-buck? Are there any snoop-proof phones (that don't cost over a thousand $$)?

Get a Google pixel, any model, root it, run a custom Rom like lineage Os or graphine and don't install Google services. Voila, a 4 G phone that doesn't track or listen. Take control of your software!

This probably won't prevent a state sponsored actor from hacking your phone, but you would likely have to be targeted to be compromised.
