Choosing a Cellphone Plan for Seniors

Tuesday, March 4, 2014

Just because you’re moving far from your elderly parents (or they might be the ones moving), it shouldn’t mean that you have to lose communication. There are after all, a wide variety of cellphones designed especially for comfortable and practical use by senior citizens. When you buy them a phone though, don’t forget to take the plan into consideration. Here are some tips for choosing phone plans for seniors:

Type of Service

You should choose a cellphone plan based on the frequency by which it will be used. Some plans, for instance, have rates that vary depending on the time of the calls. If you typically are on the phone with your elderly folks throughout the day, therefore, and only sparsely at night, choose a service that offers affordable day rates.
Company

Next, look into plan providers – each one will vary in the quality of service that they could offer you based on location (since certain providers might have better signal in one community compared to another). You should know your home calling area and compare provider roaming rates for when the calls come from outside the area.

Contract


It’s important for you to know the length of your plan’s contract, and whether or not there’s a “break free” clause that you could make use of in case you want to opt out of the plan in the middle of your contract period. Some companies provide this option, but with a hefty termination fee.
