According to some reports, 97 percent of seniors own a cell phone. And most of these cell phones are smartphones, even those with limited features. Many service providers offer specialized prices for seniors, called senior phone plans. During Black Friday 2023, seniors can avail themselves of other discounted deals throughout the shopping season. Here are a few deals to expect from some of the service providers. Check them out.

Consumer Cellular

The company usually offers deals throughout the holiday season, including the Black Friday season. Currently, the company has not announced this year’s deals, but based on previous years, one can expect to get heavily discounted phones. Customers can get a $100 credit for every new phone line added to their existing plan. Some of the reasons why many consumers consider their service are because of the no-contract or cancellation fee policy that they have. Also, seniors can use old phones that are unlocked or compatible with this network, and the plans are affordable without any hidden fees or hikes. Some examples of their plans include $20 a month with 1GB of data, $25 a month with 5GB of data, $35 with 10GB of data, and $50 a month with unlimited data.
