A Mobile Phone Plan for Seniors from AT&T

After featuring wireless phones for seniors in this blog, I felt it's time for a bit of variety. So I decided to post about another mobile phone plan for senior citizens. A few weeks ago, I already posted about Verizon's Nationwide 65 Plus wireless plan for senior citizens. Now I'll blog about AT&T's version.

AT&T launched the Senior Nation 200 plan soon after Verizon released a special plan for the elderly. This was a logical plan for AT&T because allowing Verizon to run a monopoly on the senior wireless plan market might be a mistake. Both of these carriers are on top of the mobile phone service industry so it's not unusual for them to mirror each others programs.

AT&T's Senior Nation 200 Plan is designed to a offer cost-effective solution for seniors who want to stay in touch with friends and family. It offers a special price of $29.99 a month for the elderly. 200 00 Anytime Minutes, 500 Night & Weekend Minutes and unlimited mobile-to-mobile calling are included in this special plan.

Like most plans from AT&T, this plan offers no roaming or long distance fees. Elderly consumers will get three-way calling, call forwarding, caller ID, call waiting, and basic voice mail as included features in this plan. Senior customers are required to pay a one time $36.00 activation fee, and may pay an extra $.45 per minute for additional minutes. They also have to agree to a two-year contract commitment and present proof that are 65 years old or older.

Andy Wilson, AT&T's vice president of wireless consumer marketing made this comment regarding this special mobile phone plan, "AT&T provides service plans that focus on customer value, competitive pricing and convenient ways of keeping in touch. A voice package designed specifically for seniors helps make friends and loved ones across the country seem closer."

Compared to Verizon's mobile phone plan for seniors, AT&T's version is pretty much similar. They both offer 200 minutes for the about the same price. The features and benefits are also similar. I guess the choice boils down to the network's reliability or to your preference. Overall, it seems to me that AT&T's Senior Nation 200 plan is a great and benefificial cell phone plan for seniors.

Verizon's Cell Phone Plan for Seniors

I mentioned in my introduction that I won't limit my posts to cell phones for seniors. The information I will offer in this blog will also extend to other mobile phone services for seniors such as plans or accessories.

After posting 3 cellphones for old folks, I felt that a little variety would be good so I decided to blog about plans. I surfed the sites of major wireless carriers and found a plan that matched the theme of this blog. Let me introduce the Verizon Nationwide 65 Plus a mobile phone plan for old folks.

This wireless plan is designed specially for seniors and only the elderly can avail of this offer. Customers have to present a proof of that they are senior citizens because age verification is a requirement for this special plan.

But what makes the Verizon Nationwide 65 Plus a great mobile phone plan for seniors? Well, first there is the special low price. The plan offers 200 anytime minutes for only about thirty bucks per month. You might be surprised that this plan only offers 200 minutes per month but you have to remember that this plan is for seniors. Old folks don't usually make a lot of cell phone calls so 200 hundred minutes are probably enough.

This plan also offers 500 nights and weekends minutes. I think this is a good deal for a plan that cost only thirty bucks per month. More expensive plan offer unlimited Nights and Weekend minutes but senior do not require that amount of minutes. I've already mentioned that oldies do not use mobile phones a lot so this feature will fit their lifestyle.

The Verizon Nationwide 65 Plus also include the cool National IN Calling Minutes. This special offer allow seniors to all any Verizon Wireless customers anytime without using their plan minutes. This means that if a senior's friends and family are all Verizon subscribers then he can make all the calls he or she wants without using the included minutes of this special cell phone plan for seniors.

There is another cool feature that is included in this great wireless plan for old folks. This plan will not charge any long distance fees for domestic long distance calls. This means that seniors can make domestic calls without fear of incurring long distance charges. Seniors will also benefit from basic mobile phone plan features such as 3-Way Calling, Voice Mail and Caller ID from the Verizon Nationwide 65 Plus.

After my lengthy description, I think you'll agree that the Verizon Nationwide 65 Plus is a good option for seniors. It offers all the features that the elderly need for a specially low price. You can visit Verizon's website to get more information on this plan and other services that may be good options for seniors.
