I have been on Verizon's 55+ plan for many years and pay $40 a month per line plus taxes for unlimited everything.
T-Mobile actually has more coverage than anybody right now, including Verizon. We've been on their 55+ plan for the past 4 years and have had no issues. The cost for the plan is $70 for two lines, and you get a $10 discount with autopay, so it's $60 + about $3 in taxes. My monthly bill is $63.01. They will also give you a free cell spot to use in your home if you want, but with today's phones supporting wifi calling, you probably don't need it. We have one (because it's free!), and have never had a dropped call at home.

I have found spots where my phone works and a friends phone on Verizon doesn't... and vice versa. This will be true with any network. Look at the coverage maps for Verizon and T-Mobile on their sites.
