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.
