Owning a smartphone can be expensive, especially once you include texting, data and mobile hotspot connections. However, many communication companies have a variety of options and prices to accommodate different needs, including phone plans designed specifically for senior citizens.

The top cell phone plans for seniors are:

For those age 55 and older, T-Mobile provides a phone plan which allows users an unlimited amount of talk, text and data. The plan starts at $27.50 a month, and you don’t have to sign a long-term contract. The devices compatible with the plan range from basic flip phones to recent releases from Apple and Samsung. If you receive a free device as part of the plan, you may have to pay for part of the phone if you terminate the plan early.

To be eligible for this plan, you’ll need to be at least 55 years old and have a billing address in Florida. The plan includes unlimited data, talk and text. It also offers DVD-quality streaming and unlimited hotspot connections. There is coverage available in Mexico and Canada. A single line costs $60, and the price for two lines is $80 per month. Verizon has a large selection of smartphones that can be used with the plan.

Specifically designed for seniors, GreatCall provides several phone plans, starting with 250 minutes of talk for $14.99 a month. You can also purchase additional services such as Urgent Response, which is a button you can push during an emergency. You’ll be connected to an urgent response agent who will confirm your location, help you evaluate your situation and provide assistance. Other services include Urgent Care, which allows you to speak to a nurse or doctor at any time, and GreatCall Link, which updates loved ones about your health and safety. There are no long-term contracts, and you can choose a flip phone model or smartphone option. All phones are senior-friendly, and you can keep your existing phone number.

If you are an AARP member, you can expect an additional discount when you get a plan with Consumer Cellular. These plans are a good fit for seniors with changing needs, as they provide an array of options and flexibility. A plan with 250 minutes of calls starts at $15 a month, and a plan with text and limited data costs slightly more. After selecting an initial plan, you can change it later if you find you need more or fewer services. You can use your existing phone if it is unlocked or select from a range of flip and smartphones.

Designed for individuals age 65 or older, the plan starts at $29.99 a month for 200 minutes that can be used at any time. You’ll also receive 500 minutes for nights and weekends.
