American Association of Retired Persons, or AARP, is a non-profit organization for the elderly that provides excellent cell phone services customized especially for seniors who live on a fixed income. AARP is largely trusted among seniors as it offers truly high-quality and genuine cell phones for them. They are known to offer a plethora of discounts and benefits on their cell phones and cell phone plans that are executed via other telecom companies.
Consumer Cellular company associates itself with AARP and provides cell phone plans for as low as $10 per month in the case of emergency calls and $19 to $60 a month for 200 to 2000 minutes, over the AT&T cellular phones, or the more affordable Doro cell phones, without any contracts. If you choose Consumer Cellular, you are promised an immediate 5% discount on monthly fees, 30% discount on cellular accessories and an extended money-back guarantee.
GreatCall provides a special cell phone model for the AARP seniors called the Jitterbug. Since it is specially designed for the seniors, it has easy operational features and customized emergency features, making it one of the most recommended cell phones for seniors. The starting end of the plans is $15 and increases depending upon the usage of the cellular device. With these phones, you can access the GreatCall services at any hour of the day.
Sprint, too, offers special discounts and products for seniors who are members of AARP. All you need to avail these discounts is proof that you are a member of AARP, after the verification of which your service period will automatically be extended to 2 years. These deals are quite a catch for seniors living on a budget who only use their cell phones for emergency calls or occasional calls made to their caretakers.
