Best Senior Phone Plans of 2025

You need a wireless plan for your smartphone , but there are too many to choose from. If you're over 55, there are some that cost less while providing all the features you'll need. Our Picks For one or two people who just want to stay connected at reasonable speeds but don't need a lot of extra features (or don't want to pay too much), T-Mobile offers a significantly cheaper plan for older adults than competitors, with Essentials Choice 55. This plan includes 5G access and is $45 per month for one line or $60 per month for two lines if you sign up with autopay. It's the best value for one or two people, although they won't be able to expand to three or four lines.

The plan's listing says it has unlimited talk, text and data as well as 5G access included but doesn't specify when or where subscribers will have access to 5G speeds when using data. Pros Notably discounted plan Large hotspot budget for the price Cons Unclear when 5G speeds kick in No bundled extra features Mint Mobile's Mint 55 Plus plan is a modest but affordable plan that can be as cheap as $15 per month per line if signing up for 12 months in advance, $20 a month for six months or $25 per month for three months (customers must sign up for a minimum of three months).
