land line

[linda19]

I was told seniors did not have to pay for their home phone land line.  Is this true?  If so, why are we paying when my husband turned 65 quite a few years ago.  Please advise.  Thanks.

There are some plans for Seniors but I'm not aware of any for land lines. Here is some additional information:

Mobility for Good & Internet for Good Seniors | TELUS

As far as I know you must apply to be part of these plans.

There is a program for seniors who have Telus Fibre internet to get a phone line for calling 911, but not for general calling. I understand the idea is there be an emergency phone available which anyone can use to call emergency services.
