The Jitterbug Phone has been designed and customized for the senior market. This we all know. Take this quote from Jitterbug's website for example:
Maggie S., Denver, Colorado "Finally, a phone for those who want their cell phone to just be a phone. My Jitterbug cell phone is easy, beautiful and convenient. There are no roaming fees and no contracts. It's perfect! Thank you, Jitterbug. I'm in love with you!"
The phone itself has many senior friendly features, including:
An Easy-dial keypad - This means the buttons are especially big and readable, aimed at being able to see with low vision.
A loud speakerphone - This means the user can put the Jitterbug Phone on speakerphone and go about their business, and still be able to hear the other caller.
A simple and intuitive design - The phone's design is such that anyone can use it. It simply has contacts (which you can store up to 50), YES or NO, and even has a dial tone.
24 Live Operators - This can be great, though it does take 5 minutes of talk time every time it is used. This service can be used to connect the caller to whomever they want, including people on their contact list.
No contracts - This is one of the best features of the Jitterbug Phone. You are not tied into any contacts of any kind. This means you can cancel anytime, and sell the phone to someone else, and recoup part of your investment. This is highly unique in the cell phone industry.
Plans start at $14.99 a month for 50 minutes, and go up from there.
This Phone really has been designed for the senior market, and anyone else who wants a simple, easy phone. It is important to read more reviews, though, before making a buying decision.
