Hey Baby! We need a Cell Phone plan…
Walt and I love to get out and go! Everywhere we head, whether to a MSU football game or a trip to Myrtle Beach, we have our cell phones with us and ready to go. Hey, we might want to Snapchat our kids or text our parents or send a quick Facebook message to a friend. Isn’t that what most couples over 55 are doing these days? Well, we are and so are many of our friends!
Introducing the Mobile ONE Unlimited 55+ ($60 for two lines!)
Did you know there are cell phone plans that specifically target the over 55+ age group? That’s pretty cool because our age group uses as much data as Millennials! However, many of the plans offered don’t really address the needs of Americans aged 55 and over. For example: AT&T’s Senior Nation Plan gives subscribers just 200 anytime minutes and 500 night & weekend minutes—and ZERO data. In fact, it’s limited to basic phones only.
WHAT? All my friends (and parents too) have smart phones not basic phones. Are we living in the dark ages? Interestingly enough, of the 93 million Americans in the U.S. over age 55, 74 percent of them have a smartphone.
Thankfully, T-Mobile just introduced T-Mobile ONE™ Unlimited 55+, designed specifically for consumers aged 55 and older – anyone from Baby Boomers, to retirees, to empty nesters, and the price is STUNNING. Right now Walt and pay $107/month for our smart phone plan from Verizon. That’s way too much for two people. Now here’s the good news!
$60 for TWO! The pricing for T–Mobile ONE™ Unlimited 55+ is $50 for the first line of T–Mobile ONE and $60 for two lines for those 55 and older! Extra bonus? Taxes & fees are included! Yes, you read that right! I bet those of you who aren’t 55+ wish you were!
Is T-Mobile ONE Unlimited 55+ Plan Right for Me?
It sure is right for me! With Walt being retired and trying to keep our costs down, Walt and I are heading over to the store to see if T-Mobile will work in our area. Cell phones are the number one way people in our age group connect with family and friends. Since the kids left home, we were so happy to have a lower cell phone bill, but really our cost per line has gone up since taking the kids off the family plan. WAY UP! With T-Mobile, it will cost us $60 all in…period.
I also like that the T-Mobile ONE Unlimited 55+ plan includes all these items at no extra cost:
- Mobile Without Borders: Go to Mexico or Canada? Use you phone like you’re at home
- Simple Global: smart plans for calling in over 140+ countries
- Gogo Inflight: text and 1 hour of smart phone use on domestic flights (Incredible!)
- Digits: Use your numbers on your devices like YOU need to
- Mobile Hotspot: Tether away!
- Carrier Freedom: Talk to T-mobile and see if they will cover your costs to switch to them
- T-Mobile Tuesdays: Free Stuff just for being a customer
What are you waiting for? ($60 for two lines!)
So get over to local T-Mobile store (new customers) or current customers can also call 1.800.TMOBILE, or visit www.t-mobile.com to sign up.

I just love that you found a phone booth to take a photo in! That’s awesome! They should keep them around for people to have a minute for private conversation! Or maybe, just maybe, they would encourage people to get off the phone and live. lol
Shelley Zurek says
I loved the idea of it too Kaycee. Shelley
John Sanford says
I am 74, can I get two lines for $60 each and let my college going grandson use one?
Victoria Heckstall says
Wow! Such a great deal! This is very practical.
Kelly Reci says
This sounds such a great plan. This is awesome plan with incredible features and fantastic price. I love T-mobile
Stephanie Pass says
I will definitely be telling this to my mom. She’s getting my dad to retire next year and looking for ways to save on money.
HilLesha says
I wish my husband and I were eligible for a deal like that, because we’re currently paying over $150 for two people. This is quite a lot since we seldom use it for internet or texting purposes. Meanwhile, I need to tell my mom about this deal.
Up Run for Life says
This is an amazing deal. I know that we pay way too much for our cell phones too. We are even considering switching too.
Jilly Spellman says
I am 36 and my hubby is 40. We have T-Mobile and our bill is about 130.00 so I am hope they still have this deal when we reach 55. ???? It is a great deal!
April says
Our cell bill is about $300 a month under the family plan, with two being over 55. I would love to hear more about this plan since my hubby is 55.
Shelley Zurek says
April, head over to T-mobile and see if it works for you guys. Shelley
travel blogger says
This sounds like such a great plan! I will have to pass this along to my mom. It offers a lot of great features like the mobile without borders and the gogo inflight. What a great offer for 55 and older.
Sarah L says
I looked and looked and could not find if you can get this with just a single line. I currently pay $40/month at t-mobile so this would not be a good deal for me.
Shelley Zurek says
Hi Sarah, A single line is $50 (it says it in the post where I talk about pricing 5th paragraph) but yes, it does sound like you have the better deal.
Dogvills says
$60 for two? That’s an awesome plan. I am paying so much for our phone plans. I wish this kind of plan is also offered by my network.
Leah says
This is so great! I’ve often thought about switching to T-Mobile. I am not old enough for the 55+ plan yet, but their other plans look really good.
Shaiha says
Now I do wish that I was a year older! I use T-Mobile now and I have to say that in my area they have great coverage and have always been a pleasure to work with.
Jen Temcio says
You are so pretty! I love T-mobile and have used them since the 90’s but even I am shocked at this great deal. It is great for people on a budget too.
Shelley Zurek says
THanks so much Jen. The Chief BLonde
Roger D Willis says
What a novel idea for the slightly older crowd (I’m 49!) to have fun with cell phones and apps! I would be lost without my cell phone!
Sherryl Wilson says
Love the phone booth! We stopped in a little town last week and they had a phone booth. Most of my crew had never seen one! They were fascinated.
Oh, and this plan sounds amazing for those of us over 55 years. Will have to check it out.
Shelley Zurek says
So weird that people haven’t seen a phone booth. WE ARE OLD SHERRYL!! Shelley
Marcie W. says
What an awesome plan with incredible features, and at a fantastic price too! My parents are within this age group and are not happy with their current carrier. I look forward to sharing this information with them.
Gisele says
This is good information. I have friends that use T-Mobile and really like it. I need to change to T-Mobile.
Stacie @ Divine Lifestyle says
This plan sounds amazing! I’ve looked into other senior plans for my dad, and they are total bait and switches! Thanks for sharing this.
