Frequently Asked Questions

What is the cheapest phone plan for seniors?

Mint Mobile offers plans starting at $15/month with 5GB of data, using T-Mobile's network. Consumer Cellular starts at $20/month with 1GB. For unlimited data, T-Mobile's 55+ Essentials plan at $40/month is the best value.

Do I need an unlimited data plan?

Most seniors who primarily use their phone for calls, texts, email, and light browsing can get by with 5-10GB of data per month. You only need unlimited if you frequently stream video (Netflix, YouTube) away from WiFi or use your phone as a hotspot.

Will I lose my phone number if I switch?

No! By law, you can keep your phone number when switching carriers. This is called "number porting" and your new carrier will handle it for you — usually it takes less than 24 hours.

Can I keep my current phone?

In most cases, yes. Modern phones are usually "unlocked" and work with any carrier. If your phone is more than 5 years old, you may want to check with the new carrier first. They can verify your phone is compatible.
