Breaking Down the 55+ Plans
T-Mobile offers three plans for their 55 and older customers: Essentials 55, Go5G 55, and Go5G Plus 55. Each plan has something to offer depending on what you may be looking to get out of a phone. For those who want to connect to family or for emergencies, the more pared-down Essentials plan could be a great option, while the Go5G plans cater more to tech-savvy users who plan on using their phones for streaming video, social media, and other applications.

Unlike some other providers (check out our Consumer Cellular review) that offer more customizable plans with talk-only options, all of T-Mobile’s plans include unlimited talk, text, and data. All of the plans also include 50GB of data per month before service will be throttled, which we found to be more than enough to cover normal phone usage.
Another aspect of T-Mobile’s plans is two of the three don’t include additional taxes or fees when we signed up with Autopay (which just means monthly charges are automatically deducted from your account).

While buying a phone plan can be a relatively complicated process with a number of different, occasionally conflicting offers, we found T-Mobile to be uncommonly transparent with their pricing. The plan descriptions include a number of explanatory statements as well as a robust FAQs section to help answer any questions we may have had. Another great thing about T-Mobile is that they don’t require annual service contracts, so it’s easy to cancel service if it doesn’t meet expectations.
T-Mobile Benefits
The unique features of T-Mobile’s plans also deserve a bit more explanation. Let’s take a quick look at the different services the plans include.
- Scam Shield: As anyone with a phone can attest, the number of robocalls we all receive is out of control. According to the FCC, U.S. consumers received approximately 4 billion robocalls per month in 2020. As a result, T-Mobile has introduced Scam Shield to help combat this issue. T-Mobile customers can download the free Scam Shield app or upgrade to Scam Shield Premium for a small charge.
- “Free Stuff Every Week: T-Mobile offers special promotions and discounts to its customers, unveiled each week, called T-Mobile Tuesdays. While the offers aren’t world-shattering, some perks like free Postmates delivery for three months are a nice bonus.
- Services Abroad: One of the things we love most about T-Mobile is how well they cater to international travelers. All Unlimited 55+ plans offer either texting or texting and data. For instance, the Go5G 55 plan offers 5GB of 4G data in Mexico and Canada, and Go5G Plus 55 offers twice the data speed and texting abroad.
- Service in Mexico and Canada: T-Mobile offers data service throughout North America. For the Essentials 55 plan, we were able to get 2G data coverage, and the Go5G 55 and Go5G Plus 55 plans offer up to 5GB of 4G data, which was a big help looking up the best bagel in Montreal.
- Streaming: Streaming video is a big part of phone usage these days. With T-Mobile, the Essentials 55 and Go5G plans offer unlimited standard definition (480p, “DVD quality”) streaming, and the Go5G Plus plan offers up to 4K unlimited high-definition streaming.
- Netflix on Us: The Go5G and Go5G Plus plans both offer Netflix streaming. The Go5G plan offers a basic Netflix plan on one screen in standard definition, and the Go5G Plus plan offers a basic Netflix plan on one screen, and a Netflix standard plan on two screens in high definition for more than two line accounts.
