Consumer Cellular and AT&T Senior Nation, Two Great Companies and Plans for Senior Citizens
Consumer Cellular isn’t a company that is specifically tailored for seniors; however it has cell phone plans that are simple, low cost and will provides a variety of those to choose from. What happens is Consumer Cellular buys airtime from the other leading wireless phone providers and then takes those minutes and repackages them for their individual service plans. Since they are purchasing airtime from other providers the coverage areas are basically going to be the same as the other cellular companies.
The nice benefit when it comes to Consumer Cellular is that there isn’t any long term contract that has to be signed and their service comes with a risk free, satisfaction free guarantee. What this entails is someone can try the service for 30 minutes of phone use or 30 days, whichever comes first and if you don’t like the service at that point you’re able to cancel and don’t have to pay anything.
The plans start out at as little as $10 a month and there is no long distance or roaming charges with the plans. Additionally you can change your plan at any tie and if you want to add a phone to the same plan you can do so for only $10 dollars.
There is a $35 activation fee and there are only four phones to choose from. There is a phone that is offered for free after a mail in rebate and the most expensive phone is around $115.
The Plan Costs and Details
• $35 activation fee
• $.25 per minute for overage
• No long-term contracts
• Free voicemail (airtime rates do apply)
• Can switch plans without charge
• Text messaging (for a fee)
• Are able to keep the same phone number

AT&T Senior Nation 200
AT&T released a wireless cell phone plan that is directed at those that are 65 years of age or older. The new plan is a lower cost one that is geared towards the senior that doesn’t need to use a cell phone all that often but would like to have one for emergencies and to help them stay connected to:
• Family
• Friends
• Children
• Grandchildren
• Doctors (for medical purposes)
You’ll find that the plan is structured like the other plans that are offered by the company but will provide lower minutes and will not offer as many extras and features as the regular wireless plans. This plan includes 200 anytime minutes, 500 night and weekend minutes with unlimited mobile to mobile calling with only $29.99 per month for access.
Additionally, there are no roaming or long distance charges and unlike the other plans you will not get rollover minutes with this plan.
Just like the other plans there are early termination fees but there is a 30 day satisfaction grace period to try the service and still avoid the termination fee. In order to be eligible you have to be 65 years of age or older.
