Hey guys! I taught computer literacy to adults 20 years ago! I am now a senior, we are savvy, smart, consumers. We appreciate your help and support and we know when people are talking down to us. We don't waste time acknowledgeing them.

Seniors are the biggest users because we have grand-children all over the country! I don't have a cell phone yet, never really needed one before. But with my kids living so far away and the cost of my landline keeps going up for no logical reason, I need to cut the line! As you can tell, I'm online, in fact I was online before these two guys were born! Back in the olden days ( 1980) we used bulletin boards, and 900 baud modems, and thought it was the best thing since sliced bread! I also build computers as a hobby, so there's that as well.

OK, in the first few minutes, you were ‘sort of’ talking down to seniors too. But I forgive you cuz of all the great videos you produce. But seriously, seniors use the internet for more than FaceTiming the kiddies and social media. They check their finances (or play the stock market), check their patient portals to keep in touch with their physicians, surf the businesses in their area for repair people, among many other activities. In my circle of friends (over 70) very few are ‘confused’ but we are all gullible to some degree to those who prey on us. The great thing about us is...We Aren’t Afraid to Ask which I’m thinking leads to the concept that we’re in the dark about technology. Thanks for this video, btw, great information.

It's yet another form of entertainment for a young at heart senior

Just found you today. Thanks so much for all the iPhone helpful tips and plans. As a senior with fixed income I also needed a plan that fits my limited budget. Thanks to both of you for caring about us. God bless you both.

You two are really decent and respectful people. I am not a senior citizen but I thank you for including that generation. They are full of knowledge and experience and valuable and the way our society treats them is so shameful...

You guys are fantastic, thank you for looking out for our seniors! ❤️❤️❤️

A follow-up to my comment from a couple weeks ago: we got my mom a jitterbug. She absolutely loves it. She couldn’t stand using an iPhone or an iPad or an iPod or a tablet. That sort of technology doesn’t appeal to her, nor does it really make sense to her. The jitterbug got her so excited. It is incredible. Her reaction was phenomenal. Usually, technology and she don’t get along, but she was smiling and exciting in giddy with joy at the possibilities of that simple phone.

We made the right choice.

Thanks for the great info...since turning 65...I am appalled at how the phone services treat us like children...I use the phone services for my music business and I do appreciate being treated like a well informed consumer..who is living on a regulated income...no tic tok crap but real bill paying services and media contacts...thank you...Timo Standing Buffalo Cano...

ATT lost our business because they ripped us off and we were fed up.

Love the condescension: All these plans talk down to seniors, while making massively broad generalizations about seniors right after...

[mikesmith]

Please: when you indicate that speeds get slowed over certain limits say what the new speed is and what you can still do with their service. Emailing might be unaffected but watching videos maybe not so good. Great topic thanks for covering it. 74yo here and yes I'm tech challenged, hearing challenged, etc so a focus on what could work well for us is appreciated.

How very proactive and thoughtful of you to make this video! I work with seniors and I know they would appreciate your advice.

I'm old and long-retired. But I have 2 doctorates, used to operate very complex computer systems with UI's that weren't yet watered down and still repair PC's for friends. The problems many seniors have when interfacing with tech. are often the result of visual or other physical impairments. Fortunately, many of these problems can addressed. What bothers me most is that seniors are so often cheated, grossly over-paying for the phone services they buy when not understanding what their needs really are. There are very good YT videos that many would find helpful in this regard. The video herein presented is, in my opinion, not one of them.

Thanks for idea about AT&T Prepaid Plan.

[markdoyon]

Have you guys ever looked into Spectrum Mobile?

'Great Call' Jitterbug call phone is great for seniors in a nursing home. Rooms do not have phones since it is a nursing home, which my grandmother has been in for several yrs, vs an assisted care.
