You can disable this "feature" with a hammer. It's pretty straightforward and I've done that with my Visa Paywave cards. Punching the hole will also work but I'm not sure if such card will be accepted by merchants.

Tracfone SIM cards only work in Tracfone phones.
There are cheaper pay as you go GSM plans, for example Spotmobile ($0.10/min, min recharge $5 every 120 days, uses T-Mobile and AT&T networks).
