AT&T, one of the largest telecommunications companies, offers reliable nationwide 5G and affordable wireless discounts for seniors. The company also offers discounts for military veterans and their families, first responders, teachers, nurses, doctors, unions, as well as other groups.
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 Senior Discounts
AT&T offers three different ways for seniors to save on their wireless bills.
AT&T 55+ Plan
If you’re over the age of 55, you qualify for the AT&T 55+ Plan. With this plan, customers get unlimited talk, text, and data along with valuable extras including ActiveArmor spam call blocking, 10GB of hotspot data per month, SD streaming, and 5G access.
The pricing structure is:
- One line: $40 per month
- Two lines: $70 per month ($35 per line)
This plan is limited to a maximum of two lines and is available nationwide to anyone ages 55 and older. With many other wireless companies charging upward of $60 per month for unlimited data, this offer provides significant savings for seniors across the country. Be mindful that the new AT&T 55+ plan replaces both the previous Florida-only plan, as well as the AARP Signature Program. If you’re a new customer, you won’t be able to enroll in these programs. However, existing customers can decide to keep them.
