With so many different phone plans available from different carriers, choosing the right one for you can get confusing. Here are the top 3 plans meant for seniors that you can take into consideration:
T-Mobile
T-Mobile’s Magenta Unlimited 55 plan is a great plan that offers unlimited texting, talking, and LTE data for $70 every month for two lines.
They do not add any taxes or fees to the bill, which means that your bill will be the same every month.
T-Mobile also adds on international roaming in Canada and Mexico with 5 GB of LTE data and unlimited video streaming at DVD quality (480p). Additionally, on any Gogo-enabled flight anywhere in the world, retirees will get 60minutes of free in-flight texting and data. Customers can also use their mobile hotspot without any additional charges.
GreatCall
Popularly known by the Jitterbug name of its phones, GreatCall is a good option for seniors looking for a phone plan for low monthly usage.
The plans start at $3 for 500 text messages, $2.49 for 100 MB data, and $14.99 for 250 minutes. While the 100 MB data might seem like a drop for non-seniors, this is a fantastic choice for older customers who seldom use their devices.
As part of the plan, GreatCall allows 24/7 access to a board-certified doctor or registered nurse, as well as a 5Star Urgent Response button to all its devices for emergency assistance. By using the GreatCall link, caregivers can get updates about the health and wellness of GreatCall customers.
Consumer Cellular
Catering to the older crowd, this simplified cell phone reseller company provides an easy-to-understand solution to choosing a provider.
Users can start with rates as low as $20 per month for 500 MB of data, 250 minutes, and unlimited texting. However, a two-line plan with the same benefits can cost about $40 every month.
