Help to buy an NFC cell phone with Speakout 711

My cell phone with Speakout 711 has worked out super! I have had it for a few years now -- the first year or two was on the $2 per month plan and then last year they forced us onto the $20 minimum plan. I had not bought a cell phone before 711 as I was worried that it might be overly expensive. ironically, with the $2 per month plan I saved quite a bit of money.

Another family member wants to get a cell phone and join the cell revolution. Could anyone help out on a low end cell phone that would have NFC -- I t looks like some medium range Samsung Galaxies might have it -- such as as the A 14-16. How do we get a sim card from 711 so that we could get another account for our family member? Are these sims fairly standard or do we need to get one specifically from 711 to work on Speakout? Last time we went to the local 711 store they did not have the needed sim. Any help on this wold be greatly appreciated.

We have a very basic nubia cymbal2 flip phone purchased from chatr for my mother when speakout converted to 4g with Telus. Does anyone know how to clear the emergency alrt notice from the outside screen? I googled instructions for how to remove it and only managed to get rid of the notification from the phone when it is flipped open. However, that alert still shows on the display when it is folded closed.
