The best tech support helplines for seniors (according to my 73-year-old mom)


If you know a senior who relies on you for tech troubles, one of these free services could help take some of the stress off of you.

That means you may get roped into helping older family members with email woes, new phone setups, or deciphering if a message is legit or a phishing scam. Though it’s not free, GoGoQuincy covers the most ground, answering questions about smart home tech, TVs, e-readers and more, and even provides assistance with sussing out scams and phishing. Despite the fact that it’s a potentially paid program, the GoGoQuincy rep didn’t try to upsell a membership or get her to sign up for anything — they just wished her a good day and told her to call back if she ever needed more help.
