Best plans offered on AARP cell phones
While advancement in technology has mostly affected the younger generation, the elderly are doing their bit too, to catch up! The use of smartphones among the elderly is growing with each year. It is estimated that 59% of 65-69-year-olds own a smartphone. While this number decreases with age, it is a heartening statistic. Only 31% of 75-79-year-olds use smartphones. When choosing an AARP phone plan, the first thing you need to do is find out which wireless carriers have a good coverage in your area. There is no point buying a pack when the signal strength of the carrier in your domain is going to vary at all times.
