Mobile Phone Plans for Seniors: GreatCall Basic 19

Let's look at another cell phone plan that's ideal for elderly users. This time it comes from the company behind the popular Jitterbug J cell phone for seniors. Great Call does not only specialise in handsets for those who are over 65 because it also offers plans, applications, services and accessories that are designed to cater to the needs of seniors all over the states.

This time let's look at the Basic 19 cell phone plan from GreatCall. This is the beefier version of the GreatCall Basic 14 rate plan that we featured last May. It costs a bit more but it also provides more in the way of minutes.

Here are the details of the GreatCall Basic 19 cell phone plan for seniors:

• 100 Anytime Nationwide Minutes for $ 19.99 per month (Monthly anytime minutes carry over and are available for 60 days)
• one time set up fee of $35
  
• Text Messaging
  
• No Contracts Required
• No Roaming Charges
• No Cancellation Fees
• No Data Charges

This plan also come with the following apps and services:

• Calendar
• PhoneBook
• Daily Health Tips

That pretty much sums it up. It's a simple plan made for the needs of seniors so it direct and basic. I like the carry over minutes feature but I do feel that the set-up cost is a bit high.

Do you think that this is a good cell phone plan for seniors?
