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.

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.

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+.

thanks to all,

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).

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.

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

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.

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!

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

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