T-Mobile’s $60/2 Lines Offer To Customers 55yo And Up Is A Great Deal

Just to prove that T-Mobile is starting to take the reins as the most customer-friendly carriers in the US, it just announced an offer specifically aimed at the elderly. By paying only $60 a month, customers who are 55 years old and above are eligible to get two lines. What’s more, these lines come with unlimited calls, texts, and 4G data connections. Most publications agree that this is an incredibly good deal.

What makes this a huge deal for mobile users is that it’s the first truly exceptional offer by a carrier to older users. Aside from the fact that the plans come with the unlimited features that are normally offered by T-Mobile, the costs are also cheaper compared to the usual $70 that other users have to pay, GeekWire reports. In a statement, CEO John Legere explains that this is meant to show appreciation to the mobile pioneer generation.

“For years, the carriers have been patronizing the generation that invented wireless,” Legere said. “They thank these mobile pioneers by selling dumbed down ‘senior’ plans with exactly zero data and — get this — night and weekend minutes! That’s not just idiotic — it’s insulting!”

As Forbes points out, this deal shows a lot of respect for Baby Boomers, who are part of the generation that popularized the use of mobile phones. While other carriers do have plans aimed at older users, these typically have terrible features with fixed minutes and data caps.

On that note, it’s worth pointing out that T-Mobile still has a lot of work to do with regards to coverage since its signal is not exactly all that great in most places. While its services are certainly excellent, with this new offer to older customers being a new darling, users should still consider their location when deciding to make the switch.
