AT&T Senior Plans They Don’t Tell You About

All four major US carriers offer discounted plans if the subscriber is older than 65, and Verizon, T-Mobile, and Sprint’s plans are available to people over the age of 55. While AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, and Sprint have all spent the past year boasting of unlimited data plans, they’ve been a little less forthcoming about a different set of plans that deserve just as much fanfare. The Senior Plans. Most carriers offer a discounted version of their standard unlimited data plan with senior use in mind. Today lets see what AT&T is offering the baby boomers with there AT&T Senior Plans.

The AT&T Senior Plans

If you’re 65 or older, the AT&T Senior Nation plan gives you 200 Anytime Minutes, Unlimited Mobile to Mobile Minutes, and 500 Nights and Weekends minutes, without roaming and long distance charges. This plan will only cost $29.99 and works with all non smartphones. So break out that old nokia and hook it up. Even if you just leave it in the glove box for emergencies.

The Best AT&T Senior Plan

The plan I like the best for the not so into your smartphone group is AT&T Senior Plan for Prepaid. The plan is $35 smartphone plan with 1 gig of data, also discounted by $5 with auto pay. With that you get unlimited mins/text and 1gb of data. With the auto pay discount that is only $30 a month, plus no monthly taxes. You will however have to pay the state sales tax. The only downside to that is that you have to purchase your phone at a full retail cost, none of those delicious two year contract freebies.
