AT&T Senior Discounts
AT&T offers three different ways for seniors to save on their wireless bills.
AARP Discount
If you’re an active AARP member, you can save up to $10 per line when you choose the AT&T Unlimited Premium PL Plan, along with 15 percent off eligible accessories and up to $50 in savings for activation and upgrade fees. The $10 per line discount is applicable on up to five lines, and only the primary account holder must be an AARP member.
AT&T Unlimited 55+ Plan
If you’re over the age of 55 and reside in the state of Florida, you qualify for the AT&T Unlimited 55+ Plan. With this plan, customers get two lines with unlimited talk, text, and data for $40 per month per line. With many other wireless companies charging upward of $60 per month for unlimited data, this offer is a great one for Florida residents. We can’t wait for it to expand to other states.
