T-mobile cell service plan for 55+: any experience?

[Smalley]

There is a senior (over 55) plan now available with T-mobile that I've read about. We use Verizon now and it seems like it would be about a $40. per month savings for us. Netflix is included. I was wondering if any of you have made the switch and what you think about the service? We are about to become snowbirds.
thanks to all,

We have used that 55+ T-mobile plan for years. We are grandfathered in at $60 per month for two lines. I think it is a bit more now. No matter who you use there are going to be areas where the signal isn't as good as you might like but overall we are very happy with it.

Prior to covid we traveled a lot (and hope to again soon!) and T-mobile is great if you go overseas. You get cheap calls in most countries (10c per minute, I think), free texting, and free (slow) internet which is good enough to check email and such. You can also upgrade during your trip to get faster service if you like.

Aren’t you on Verizon’s 55+ plan? $40 per line. Unlimited everything including Canada and Mexico.

[biker1]

If you are interested in the T-Mobile network, an alternative option is Mint Mobile, a prepay MVNO that uses the T-Mobile network. It is available for $15 per month for unlimited voice and text and 4 gigabytes of data. I have not had any issues in the 2 years I have had them.

If you have Xfinity internet, one of the best cell phone deals is Xfinity Mobile. You get the Verizon network and unlimited talk and text and 1gb of data or $13.77 per month. Verizon is almost always rated as the best cell network.

[Dond1959]

I have had T mobile south of 44 for over 2 years and no issues. We saved about $60 per month over what Verizon was charging us.

[rsmurano]

not sure about the villages, but t-mobile has always had spotty coverage around the country. Verizon is the deluxe standard for signal strength throughout the country. Signal strength/coverage is mandatory when traveling if you are using your phone for GPS. I used ATT before Verizon and just going 20 miles outside of Atlanta or other decent size towns, you would get no coverage. 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 merged with Sprint and since the merger our signal has been very spotty. I called them and they said they were working on towers and they don’t know when everything is going to be completed.

[rhood]

Switched to T-Mobile from Verizon several months ago and are happy. Two phones, two cellular watches for $90/'mo. Free Netflix too.

[KRMACK55]

You can try T-mobile, but I would bet the Netflix is not a permanent fixture with their cell service, probably just a hook to sucker you in. My husband and I used to use Verizon for our cell carrier, and we would pay on average 158.10/2 cell phones. I got tired of their ridiculous surcharges and fees in general. We switched to Consumer Cellular, and now we only pay 68.18/month, including taxes and fees. We haven't had any interruptions in our service, just as comparable to Verizon's minus the big bill. We have been very happy with them. You can go to any Target store, and purchase Consumer Cellular in their electronics/cell phone department. Good luck, hope this helps.

[Rwirish]

Great plan, no issues.

[Blackbird45]

I use Xfinity we use very little data and my wife vary rarely use her phone, but for both phone we pay a little over $30.

[RMHisle]

What is a MNVO


mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) is a wireless communications services provider that does not own the wireless network infrastructure over which it provides services to its customers.

[mrf6969]

Xfinity Cell service you should be paying only about $15.50 with all taxes per month for 2 lines sharing 1G. The best deal in the industry by a landslide.

[RMHisle]

We've been with Sprint/Tmobile for 25 years. Coverage is good in most places but not as good as Verizon, or so I keep hearing. Overall we're happy with the coverage and pricing. 4 phones with unlimited minutes and data are $150 month on the 55+ plan with military discount. Great deal in my opinion.

[biker1]

Ooops, a typo - MVNO.

What is a MNVO

[elevatorman]

We have 3 phones on our plan for $69.11/mo. Unlimited calls & texts, 10 GB shared data. We have 5G coverage in most areas on the T-mobil network. Unlimited data is available for $20 more per month. We have never used over 5 GB data in a month. Our plan is with Consumer Cellular. You can choose a SIM card from AT&T or T-Mobil. AARP gets a 5% discount. No contract. One other thing to think about is porting your phone number. Most companies will port for free There's no fee to transfer your number to T-Mobile, and it gets even better! With Carrier Freedom​, T-Mobile will pay early termination fees or device payments for up to five lines that are currently under a postpaid contract with AT&T or Verizon.

We've been on TMobile for what seems like ever. We are on the military plan, however even the 55+ plan is almost the same - bottom line on TMobile it doesn't get any lower than $40 a line and yes they pay my netflix account of which the transfer of who is paying Netflix was easy and seamless.

I have TMobile for personal phone and Verizon for work phone and I have had far better service from TMobile.

hope that helps

[Pinball wizard]

I'm in Fenney and switched to T-Mobile when I moved here 3+ years ago.
1. The signal is very good including 5G. This appears to be true around the Villages.
2. The price is good: $70 all in including taxes.
Includes MLB (as it has for several years)
Includes Netflix (one device at a time)
3. Very good if you travel to Europe and other areas.
Unlimited texting and data in 210+ countries & destinations.
No international data-roaming charges
It was great on a cruise when you get into port, T-Mobile welcomes you.
4. T-Mobile Tuesday app. Each week, T-Mobile offers you discounts on different items.
1. Every week: 10 cents off a gallon of Shell
2. Discounts on hotels and car rentals.
3. Fast food: This weed was a free Breakfast Baconator with purchase at Wendys.

That's all I can think of... Hope it helps.

[trxi6565]

I’ve had the T-Mobile 55 plan tor about 5 years … it’s unlimited talk text & data on 2 lines! It’s a great plan and I have great service! Customer service is wonderful also!

[Bridget Staunton]

Does MVNO work overseas and what if you have AT&T is it restricted to T-mobile network

I've had similar experiences with ATT. As snowbirds we need coverage everywhere and VZ does it. We are on the 55+ plan with taxes our bill is about $94.88 each month. When we first signed up this past winter we also received 3 months free of Discovery+

[banjobob]

I currently have T-Mobile plan unlimited talk and text but limited data, $15.00 per month prepaid , very happy with service and have had no problems.

[phansen2246]

Mobile Virtual Network Operator

[Mrprez]

An MVNO is a reseller of network services. They buy chunks of service from the big guys, Verizon, ATT, TMobile and resell it.

[biker1]

Mint Mobile, which uses the T-Mobile network, works overseas. Check their website for the list of countries. You need to add money to your account, via their website, for roaming charges.

Does MVNO work overseas and what if you have AT&T is it restricted to T-mobile network

[fcgiii]

T-Mobil is Deutsche Telecom, a German company. It thus works perfectly in Europe. We have had it for years. Two phones unlimited data, $70 / month.

[Footer]

I switched my family plan to T-Mobile 4 years ago. Pay $147 for 8 lines including free Netflix. Taxes and fees included. I did get 2 of those lines on a BOGO promotion. I needed another line 2 weeks ago but am maxed out so I got the prepaid T-Mobile Connect for $15/month + fees. However if you I use a T-Mobile gift card to prepay then no taxes and fees.

Loved using it overseas. Free data was usable. On occasion I got 4G speeds.

I use WiFi calling at home since reception isn't great near Savannah Center. Reception in The Villages has improved compared to 4 years ago. I expect it will continue to get better.

I asked for a range extender and installed it in my house, I get 5 bars in the house and outside on the patio
No issues
They also have t mobile Tuesday’s with prizes and discounts on gas

Its also the most expensive and the quickest to tack on additional fees for things. I used them for about 15 years until I finally took the time to look around and get better service n rateswith AT&T. Shop around and youll see how overpriced verizon is

[Mrprez]

Yeah, it it is TMobile. Not Verizon. Anything associated with Sprint can’t be good.

We switched from T-Mobile paying $70/mo for two lines to Xfinity and now pay $33/mo for two lines. We had been T-Mobile users for years in Atlanta, but changed when we moved to TV last year. Xfinity’s data doesn’t seem as responsive, but it hasn’t let us down.

I have the 55 magenta plan 50 a month..I've had tmobile for years..have had no issues and they have great customer service

[Boilerman]

It’s surprising to me that people are still paying $30 or more for cell service. We’ve used Mint Mobile for about 2 years now which uses TMobile towers and pay $15 a month per phone for unlimited talk, text and data! To get that rate, you have to prepay for a year.

All cell providers have some dead spots but we’ve previously had ATT and Verizon and I think that after Sprint and TMobile merged they now have the best coverage.

[FredJacobs]

I switched from Verizon to T-Mobile a year ago. Two lines, unlimited everything, two new phones all for $70 a month - tax included - 2-year contract. I saw no difference in service between Verizon and T-Mobile. Remember the commercials for Sprint? The former Verizon spokesman touted that Sprint had the same coverage as Verizon. Well, T-Mobile bought Sprint. Also, as long as you make calls while connected to the Internet (WiFi). calls and texting are free - anywhere in the world.

[Guitarman1951]

And you can pick the sims card you want, either an AT&T or be T-Mobile, $10 at Target and Consumer Cell credits your acct for the $10. We change to the T-Mobile card when we go to Europe because you can use your phone there just like you do here using that sim card, as part of your plan. We have 3 phones, includes the home phone, unlimited calls, texts and 10gb of data for $74/mo. We rarely use anywhere near the data allotment, so we may cut back on our plan and save even more. Verizon was near $100 for 2 phones with limits on everything.

[RMHisle]

We've been with Sprint/Tmobile for 25 years. Coverage is good in most places but not as good as Verizon, or so I keep hearing. Overall we're happy with the coverage and pricing. 4 phones with unlimited minutes and data are $150 month on the 55+ plan with military discount. Great deal in my opinion.

[DIver0258]

We switched last year from Verizon to T Mobile. Coverage here in the southern villages is great. The Verizon coverage at our home was terrible. We saved about $80 a month over Verizon. Our bill is $95 two lines unlimited data talk and text. Plan includes Netflix

[MrFlorida]

If you travel, then Verizon has the best coverage. We found T Mobile to be spotty in areas.

[Lil GTO]

We’ve used it for two years and it was good except some dead spots coming across 10 from Houston TX.

It was good in the villages area for sure about a year ago when they merged with a few other companies the dead spots disappeared and the service was as good as it gets.

I switched to xfinity got TB and Internet and they offered me a deal with unlimited calling but 3 GB of data per month for $30.00 per month for both phones.

Sometimes we exceed that data limit by 1 GB and the bill goes 2 $45.00 per month for both and that includes all taxes and fees.

So o switched from T-Mobile deal just to test it as it doesn’t require a contract so you can switch at anytime without penalty.

Kept our phones and numbers just changed the micro chips to those that they overnighted and followed simple instructions and we are in business.

I’m glad I switched service and coverage are great as they use Verizon towers and X finity has literally thousands of hot spots so you can remain on wi-fi most of the time regardless of where you are.

Another low cost, one flat rate fee service is Visible. I’ve been using the service for nearly 2 years. It’s a Verizon company. One unlimited line starts at $40 and two lines is $35. 3 lines is $30 and 4 lines is $25. This is on what they call their Party Pay . The down side is there are zero store fronts and any questions are answered via live chat or email.

[vmstygar@gmail.com]

There doesn't seem to be any good deals from any of the carriers if you only need a single line.

We switched to T-Mobile last year. We now have 2 lines with everything unlimited plus Mexico, Canada, for less than 1 line was at Verizon. Very Happy with the service, always adding TV links for free as well. Sorry we didn't switch sooner, we lost thousands for service less than we now have.

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.

[pgettinger01]

If you use Mint Mobile plans start at $15 a month and the maximum is $35 depending on data use. You must own an unlocked phone.

Hi I switched from ATT about 2 years ago. I’ve had NO issues and I know what my bill is going to be every month. Love it😎

[harleyrider2]

I have had Tracfone service for a number of years and very happy with their service. I currently pay $20 a month for unlimited talk & text with 1 gb of rollover data.

I would expect with the changeover to 5G many things will change. Including cost and coverage.

We switched 18 months ago and it’s been great! Saves a lot of money!

[Jean G]

I have the 55+ plan with ATT and the additional line. Huge savings

[grecora]

I was a long term user of At&T and was reluctant to change carriers. ATT prices started to get very high...so i made the change in NJ to T Mobile.....excellence service and coverage...traveled to Brazil...and had coverage....The Senior plan was $55.00 per month...all in.....and if you signed up for auto pay it dropped to $50. I moved here to The Villages 1 year ago...and had excellent coverage here as well.

[Orvil]

Currently I've got Verizon.

Previously, had Consumer Cellular. I discovered something when I moved from a previous home. I couldn't get calls from my Consumer Cellular service. I investigated the issue and this was the explanation. CC rents space on AT&T towers. When traffic on a tower gets high, AT&T will throttle the CC service down first. Essentially, CC has access to 80% of the AT&T tower capacity. AT&T gives priority to their full AT&T customers and these full customers get 100% access to the tower. While normally not a big deal and everything seems to work fine, that 20% loss of access by using Consumer Cellular could become important in an emergency situation. CC and many of these other off-brand companies have the same reduction in access model. Something to know.

I solved my problem by going to Verizon and getting their over 55 service. I get full service and full access to their capabilities. I've never tried T-mobile. But, a lot of people are very satisfied with their service.

[Al2014]

Copy That

[jdgerman]

I too am using Mint. Great so far.

[LOMDtrainman]

We use Consumer Cellular much less expensive, and you get a discount if you are an AARP member. They use both the ATT network and T-Moble.

We've been on Verizon 55+ plan also for many years with no problems.

Mint Mobile doesn’t include wearables.

We had Sprint a few years ago when we were traveling full time. Went six weeks with no cell service. Had to stop and use WiFi where we could find it. Useless. Switched to Verizon and had coverage again.

thanks to all,

Consumer Cellular uses ATT and T-Mobile. For ATT it's less than $50/mo for the best service (total for 2 phones). Unsure what the cost is for T-Mobile, but likely the same.

[Villagesgal]

I have had T Mobile for 4 years now, got a range extender from them for free, always 4 or 5 bars now. Have driven cross country several times, no issues. Travel the world and have free internet and low cost calling, 10 cents a minute in over 280 countries all at 2 lines unlimited everything for 60.00 per month. Great service.

[Smalley]

Many thanks to all you knowledgable Villagers. I'm embarassed to say that I didn't know about the Verizon over-55 plan, never heard of a range extender nor those other third party systems. I'm grateful for the help.

[toddao]

We switched from Verizon to Consumer Cellular and now pay about $50/mo (including fees and taxes) as opposed to $129/mo. 3GB of data very good coverage. Also, their customer service is A+.

We’ve been on T-Mobile 55+ plan for about 4 years. Good service in the villages and good when we traveled. Ours is $35 per line, 2 lines for $70/month. What I like best about it is no other fees and taxes added to the quote amount. It is what it is. Also, T-Mobile Tuesday app gives a lot of free and discounted stuff including 10 cents off a gallon of gas up to 20 gallons at Shell each week.

ummm one of us is OFF.... i have Xfinity internet, with mobile... it $13.77 per month , 1 gb . but its not unlimited talk and text. If your using it IN your home Off your own Internet, it doesn't draw off your 1 gb. If your at a HOT spot and hook in It doesn't draw off your 1 gb. But if need to USE your Mobil Internet because there is NO internet available... then it draws off your 1 gb. If you want Unlimited talk and text, its $50 more a month. or pay by the gb depends how much you use it.

$70 a month is the advertised price. If you sign up for autopay, they give you a $10/month discount bringing it down to $60.

Also, if you are a T-Mobile customer, you get $10/month off of YouTube TV for as long as you are with T-Mobile. This brings YouTube TV down to $55/month. You can also get a discount on Philo (1/2 off), bringing Philo down to $12.50/month. Philo carries several channels that are not on YouTube TV that my wife watches (GSN, Hallmark, etc).

[npwalters]

another good review for T Mobile. Have used it for about 5 years and grandfathered in at $60 per month. That includes tax, etc. and includes 2 lines with unlimited data.

I connect the phone through our internet when at home. Coverage is OK but probably not as good as Verizon but plenty good enough for me. Free to usewith no roaming in many countries.

Great value.

I have t-mobile and pay $90 a month for two lines. We are happy with it. The G5 coverage is good, when there is no WiFi available.
How is Xfinity's G5?
The plan you mention sounds good and I'd like to switch but at least one of my phones (Galaxy G7s) is locked to the T-Mobile network, maybe both. One I bought for full price from T-Mobile and paid it off in a year, the other( wife's) I bought used on Amazon for a good price, but it said right on there that it was locked to T-Mobile.

[Ubieland]

We have had T-Mobil 55+ for 2 + years and couldn't be happier! Great service, no dead spots, and Netflix is not a "Gottcha". T-Mobil renews your Netflix subscription each year!

[Crazyladycruz]

We’ve had T-Mobil for a couple
Months no issues. Verizon kept jerking me around with “better” plans. Kept costing more every time. Dumped them! 2 lines and watch unlimited $80. 1 tv with Netflix included
I think they have a special if you switch, new free phone. There’s a location by Panda Express

[alan157]

I agree with another responder that X-Finity Mobile is the cheapest plan available for anyone using less than 2 gigs shared data. Plan uses Verizon's network. My wife and I share 1 gig and our bill is less than $15 a month with taxes. You need to be an X-Finity internet subscriber to qualify.

[trxi6565]

We’ve had T-Mobile 55 plan for years….it’s a great plan with great service. We moved to The Villages In May and have terrific service all over here!

[Dee Smith]

Mine is $70/mo now after 3 years for same plan

[Travelhunter123]

We switched last year from Verizon to T Mobile. Coverage here in the southern villages is great. The Verizon coverage at our home was terrible. We saved about $80 a month over Verizon. Our bill is $95 two lines unlimited data talk and text. Plan includes Netflix

Not sure why your bill is $95. I pay $70. Are you financing a smart phone

[Shapdaddy]

Switched from Verizon after 30 yrs to T-Mobile shortly b4 moving here 4 yrs ago. Can’t beat the price. Service was kind of sketchy down here in certain areas. Over the yrs the service has improved. $60 a month unlimited text/data.

My husband & I have been on the T-Mobile 55+ service plan for years. Overall, it has worked well for us. We live south of 44 & have not had issues with it. When we lived north of 44, T-Mobile gave us a booster to use for free in the house as we sometimes had trouble with reception inside the house (some houses & buildings have a foil-type wrap for insulation that interferes with signals). We travel throughout the US & sometimes do not have as good of reception in remote areas as AT&T does. It has gotten better over the years. We have not recently traveled outside of the US & have no experience with that.

If you are interested in the T-Mobile network, an alternative option is Mint Mobile, a prepay MVNO that uses the T-Mobile network. It is available for $15 per month for unlimited voice and text and 4 gigabytes of data. I have not had any issues in the 2 years I have had them.

I have Mint - so far so good!

Verizon prepaid 25 a month for 5 gb with loyalty discount

Not sure why your bill is $95. I pay $70. Are you financing a smart phone

They might not be on the 55+ plan. Tmobile has Magenta and Magenta Premium plans which are more expensive. Could be one of those.

We have our mobile plan through Xfinity. $35/mo for 2 phones.

How did you get that deal? Very nice if it is factual. Maybe just a typo? :bigbow:

I've been on T-Mobile for over 4 years now. Service is as good as any other phone I've had. There are multiple 55+ plans. The lowest cost one is $55/month for 2 lines with autopay. When you add taxes and fees it comes out to $63 and some change. The next up is the Magenta 55+. It's $70/month for 2 lines with autopay, and taxes are included. For the extra $7, you get unlimited 5g (5g can be throttled on the 55+ plan), a 4G LTE hotspot (only 3G on 55+), and netflix for free (netflix is not included on the lowest 55+ plan).

I opted for the Magenta 55+ plan as I use a lot of data. None of the other plans mentioned here (Xfinity, Mint, etc) come close in cost if you use quite a bit of data (3G or more).

As an FYI, one other T-Mobile perk is you get $10/month off of YouTube TV if you're streaming as long as you're with T-Mobile.

We were about to switch from Verizon to T Mobile a few weeks ago.

Good deal on a new Samsung phone but on application they insisted on my giving them our social security numbers.

Told them we would not give out that info, they insisted and we said bye.

Good service, but not as good as Verizon. Service is spotty in some areas.
