Unfortunately, there are few cell phone companies that offer senior discounts. With most of the big-name companies, the discount is insultingly low. The most unfortunate aspect is the taxes and fees on these plans, which often exceed any discount amount awarded.

They offer plans for a $10 monthly charge, without the high fees and taxes. For those who have trouble seeing the tiny digits on a cell phone, there are larger phones with large digits.
