Thus, here are some of the best prepaid cell phone plans for seniors shortlisted.

Great prepaid cell phone plans for seniors

Mint Mobile
One of the cheapest prepaid cell phone plans is offered by Mint Mobile, wherein you get a 4GB data allowance for $15 per month. However, this price is valid for new customers only for the first three months. After that, you may have to renew it for three, six, or twelve months. Those who renew the plan for an entire year have to pay $15 per month. The plan is also compatible with unlocked phones, so you can bring your own device to claim the offer.

Ultra Mobile
If you or your elderly parents use their cell phones only when required, then Ultra Mobile is a great option. Their PayGo plan costs $3 a month for 100 minutes of talk, 100 texts, and 100MB of 4G data. The minutes and data are limited, but if you need extra data, it’s only 3 cents for each MB, 1 cent per text, and 3 cents for every extra minute for calls. However, an additional $2 will give you voice and text add-ons, a $5 top-up provides 500MB data for 24 hours, and a $10 top-up gets 1GB of data for a week.
