OK I am one of these over 60 year olds without a smartphone (I am 67, DH 68). We retired at age 50 and live well but we have a pretty strict budget (we spend money on what we really enjoy like travel). We are pretty tech savvy, have an iPad, MacBook, smart TV, etc. Our issue is budget. We currently pay $50 per month for 2 dumb phone lines with Verizon, unlimited talk and text, no data. We bought our current phones for almost nothing a few years ago. Our phones have to be on the Verizon system because at our mountain cabin Verizon is all we can get (even Verizon is hard to receive sometimes here in the mountains.). We use our dumbphones quite a bit --we talk on them a text alot. We have no landline. We use the iPad like a smartphone when we travel and pay $20 per month for Verizon data.
I am willing to look into a smartphone if it would fit in our budget of $50 per month, I am sure the smartphone would be handy for maps, Uber, etc. Several people on this thread have said there are cheap smartphones and plans out there. I have not been able to find such cheap phones and plans, certainly not from Verizon. Would it be possible for us to get 2 smartphones with unlimited talk and text and a little data for $50 per month? I would not want to pay anything out of pocket for the smartphones, the cost of the 2 phones themselves would have to be included in the $50 per month. Thanks!
