Читать книгу Android Smartphones For Seniors For Dummies - Marsha Collier - Страница 38

Finding real deals on phones from carriers isn’t always easy. Senior discounts are even harder to find. T-Mobile is the only US carrier to have a nationwide truly unlimited plan for seniors (currently $70 a month for two lines). As of this writing, both AT&T and Verizon have unlimited plans only for those 55-and-over who live in Florida. You read that right — shall we all pack our bags and move to Florida?

Unfortunately, seniors are often a target for questionable marketing, even in the phone carrier business. Brands purchase the right to use the names of famous organizations to make it appear that they are recommended and approved by them. Beware of these practices. I found this disclaimer in the smallest print possible on the bottom of a phone carrier’s web page:

“**** member benefits are provided by third parties, not by **** or its affiliates. Providers pay a royalty fee to **** for the use of its intellectual property. These fees are used for the general purposes of ****. Some provider offers are subject to change and may have restrictions. Please contact the provider directly for details.”
