T-Mobile sells its regular T-Mix plans with a 55+ discount, and the result is the strongest all-round choice for older couples who want a big carrier. The entry plan, T-Mix Saver with 55+ savings, costs $30 a month per line on two lines with AutoPay. The broadband label lists $40 for one line or $80 for two lines before AutoPay, and says the price is not an introductory rate. Saver includes unlimited talk and text and 50 GB of premium data, plus Scam Shield for unwanted calls. Step up to T-Mix Standard at $60 for one line before AutoPay, or to More and Loaded, and you get more premium data, hotspot data and high-speed data in Canada, Mexico and 215+ destinations. The limits are worth knowing: the minimum age is 55, the plan allows a maximum of two voice lines, and a regulatory and telco recovery fee of $5.49 per line is added each month. There is also a device connection charge of up to $35 per line.
