Senior Discount

Six months ago I was told Verizon would have a senior discount on billing in near future. I can not get through to talk to a representative. Does anyone know if Verizon offers this plan? Senior Discount?

I understand they have a over 55+ plan, yet now im hearing that it is at a reduced speed. Does anyone else understand differently?

I regret changing already from the old grandfathered unlimited to the 55+. I am now getting 0.32 download speed and 2.39 upload speed. They said it would only slow down when the network was loaded. Professional liars.

lakegirl2019,

 

I know how important it is to save everything you're supposed to. That's always a priority and I'm glad to help find the best options. At this time we offer many employer discounts and we offer military, veteran, and first responder discounts. There isn't a senior discount currently but we're glad to help find a plan that will fit your needs and save you everything you can. What plan do you have now? How many lines do you currently have? How much data do you normally use per month?

The best option for seniors is buy your phones outright and use prepaid service.  It’s always cheaper.  Prepaid has nice deal on a 15 gig plan (8 with 7 gig bonus)

DayRider, keeping you connected at speeds that work for your type of usage is important, so we are here to assist. There is a Go Unlimited 55+ plan available to customers in qualifying locations as shown on the following web page https://www.verizonwireless.com/plans/55plus/. Customers on the Go Unlimited plan may experience slower data speeds throughout the billing cycle during times of congestion on the towers. The Go Unlimited plan is better for those that mostly browse the web, use email and stream non-HD videos. Mobile Hotspot is provided at speeds of up to 600 Kbps. Please let us know if this answers your questions.

I asked about the over 55 plan and as a result my plan was changed to over 55plan. The monthly fee will be more than my old plan, There is nothing that helps out the senior community in this plan

@DayRider, I also would want to know what I am signing up for when changing plans, so it would be my pleasure to go over any of the plan details. With three unlimited plans, we provide the flexibility of choosing the most fitting unlimited plan for each user. The 55+ plan functions the same as our Go Unlimited plan and is catered for those who are light to moderate data users. Let's review if this is the best plan for you. How are you looking to use your data on this new phone? Do you live in a heavily populated area? What plan are you currently on?
