AT&T, one of the largest telecommunications companies, offers reliable nationwide 5G and affordable wireless discounts for seniors. They also offer discounts for AARP members, military veterans, and their families.
Additionally, AT&T’s wireless network covers more than 99 percent of Americans and 100 million U.S. consumers across mobile and broadband. We’ll discuss some of the ways seniors can save on mobile plans.
AT&T offers three different ways for seniors to save on their wireless bills.
If you’re an active AARP member, you can save up to $10 per line when you choose the AT&T Unlimited Elite Plan, along with 15 percent off eligible accessories and up to $45 in savings for activation and upgrade fees. The $10 per line discount is applicable on up to one to five lines, and only the primary account holder must be an AARP member.
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.
