Take a look at our suggestions for the best cell phone deals for seniors for the Holidays.
This phone plan is cheap, making it excellent for seniors that may want to focus on calls more than anything else during the holiday. The greatest thing about this cell phone deal is its relatively cheap plan. Reaching a total of $15 for a month may seem quite high, but billing is dependent on usage, which is also dependent on the level reached
Cost: $6 per month for the base price, starting plan at $3 for 100 minutes talk, $3 for text, and $3 for 100MB data.
Pros
– It is cheap and affordable, and seniors may only spend $10 a month
– Charges are dependent on usage. You only get billed according to what you use
cons
– limited to only two networks; Sprint and T-mobile
AT&T offer is targeted at seniors between the age of 65 and above and would want more talk time. Seniors can access 200 minutes to any other service, unlimited talk minutes with other AT&t customers, and up to 500 nights and weekend talk minutes without long-distance or roaming fees. This plan, as stated before, is for users whose main aim is to call, so it does not offer any data plan.
Other plans under AT&T offer both text and data with the unlimited & more service plan offering unlimited talk time, texts, and data for $40 per month
Pros
Senior cell plan is well suited for those above 65 years and above
Many available options for all AT&T plans.
Accepts other devices if you do not want their phones
Tons of plans that are dependent on your data needs
Cons
Senior specific cell has no data or texts and works only with basic phones
Greatcall is one of the best plans for seniors currently in the market, as it offers deals for calls and data. Greatcalls have two phone offerings which are lively Flip and Jitterbug smart2. These phones are perfect for seniors who do not desire long-term contracts and just want to enjoy the holidays.
The Lively flip is a flip kind of phone and is designed for seniors to navigate extremely easily.
Cost: beginning talk plan starts at $14.99 monthly for about 200 minutes, while the highest plan is $49 for unlimited minutes. For texts, it starts at $3.00 for 300 texts and peaks at $15 for 1500 texts.
Contract: No – cancel any time.
The Jitterbug smart 2 is similar to the flip, with the obvious difference being that it is not a flip.
Cost: Talk plans start at $14.99 per month for about 200 minutes and peak at $49.99 per month for unlimited talk time and texts.
Contract: No – cancel any time.
Pros
Zero contract
Low initial phones cost
Plans start with a small fee of $14.99 per month for calls
Cons
GreatCall plans can only be accessed with their phones.
Unlike most senior plans that offer only talk options, T-Mobile 55+ gives unlimited text, talks, and data in all its plans. Every plan comes with 50GB of data monthly and even the most tech-savvy senior would have a hard time exhausting all of it for the holidays. T mobile starting subscription is about $27.50 monthly. It, however, has a limitation of just two lines and is not so great for family conversation. Costs: $27.50 at lowest plan to $45 monthly at highest plan
Pros
No hidden charges and twists. Free of taxes and fees
unending calls, texting, and data usage in over 200 countries
1 hour of text and data on Gogo-enabled flights
Cons
Two-way line
High data users may be throttled back during times of peak use
