Are there any other phone plans similar to LycaMobile's? I'm looking for something cheap with no mandatory monthly fees.

There are a number of MVNOs (Mobile Virtual Network Operators). I think they all service the 48 contiguous U.S. states at a minimum, but am not positive. Just Google the acronym for lists and links, or you can even search in Amazon. Some that I can think of offhand are Lycamobile, Tello, H2O, Tracfone, Boost-Mobile, Metro Plus, FreedomPop, Republic, Red Pocket, and Virgin Mobile. Just about all offer both pay-as-you-go (PAYG) and prepaid monthly plans. I recommend the PAYG plans if you want a phone for emergencies (keep in a glove box, drawer, etc.) or other occasional use, though many of the monthly plans are so cheap ($15-$20/month for unlimited talk & text) that you might end up choosing one of those. For the PAYG plans you pay usually pay one set charge for everything, which is then deducted depending on service, e.g., $.02/minute talk, $.01/text, $.10/MB data. The monthly plans usually give you 500MB to 2GB data per month. For just talk and text, the MVNOs are a far better bargain than any of the major carriers (AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, Verizon); data is where they lose their advantage. Large (e.g., 5GB/month or more) data users will end up paying a lot. Aside from that, the important factor is whether your Android phone is GSM compatible or CDMA compatible. (iPhones are a whole 'nother animal). Most MVNOs and carriers will work with only one type of Android phone. AT&T and T-Mobile, for example, are GSM-compatible; Sprint and Verizon are CDMA. My personal recommendation: FOR--Tello (if you have a CDMA or Apple device): prices are great, and customer service is even better. Against--FreedomPop--you can actually get absolutely free (CDMA) service from them, if you only expect to need service slightly more than none at all, but anything more than that will probably involve going through Customer Service, which is ABOMINABLE; I recommend them only if you don't mind shouting yourself hoarse at them.

can i use this sim card in my apple iphone 3g 8gb if its unlocked

Yes. I am using it in unlocked iPhone 3g.

Since there are 2, do I have to insert both?

There are not 2 SIMs.Dual SIM card in this case means that there is a SIM card that will fit phones that take different size SIMs, both the regular (full) size SIM and some smartphones that take the micro (medium) size SIM. The iPhone takes the even smaller nano size SIM. This particular SIM card will fit either a phone that takes the full size and the micro SIM size.

Can it work with qlink phones

It will work if it is unlocked. Buy here https://amzn.to/3a7mtq9.
