T-Mobile has a 55+ plan that ends up costing $63 and some change with taxes that gives you 2 lines and unlimited talk, text, and data. It includes a hot spot, but the hot spot is limited to 600K (making it nearly useless). I upgraded to the Magenta 55+ plan that is a little over $6 more - it's $70/month with taxes and fees included.
With this plan you get a full speed hot spot, and no bandwidth limiting or throttling. I've had no issues with it since I've had it. In addition, T-Mobile offers a ton of freebies for users - free Netflix and Apple TV for a year (renewable each year), $10 off of YouTube TV each month for as long as you're a customer along with a host of other goodies.
As far as phones, the best deal out there right now is upcoming release of the Google Pixel 6a on Thursday (6/28). The phone is $449, but you can get a $300 rebate using a number of old phones - bringing the cost of the phone down to $149 -plus you get a free set of wireless pixel buds! If you get the unlocked version, it works on all major carriers.
