If you've ever taken a look at some of the cell phones on the market today and wondered how long it takes to work it, the Jitterbug phone might be just what you need. Although some of the newer models are available with more complicated options like Bluetooth, Jitterbug is known for simplicity and ease of use.
With large, easy to read buttons the Jitterbug is uncomplicated and made with the senior in mind. In addition, there's an extra loud speaker phone so you can go about your business and be able to hear the person you're talking to with no trouble.
Customers are generally very satisfied with their purchase, with a few customer service snafu's in the margins (it's tough to make everyone happy). If you live in a wooded area, you might have some issues with cell signal reception, which is actually one of the biggest complaints and something to keep in mind before purchasing. To be fair, this would be an issue with any cell phone and not just the Jitterbug. Again, customers are usually very happy with their phones.
The Jitterbug has two buttons labeled Yes and No- these are all it takes to operate the phone. There's no worries with finding a particular screen just to make a phone call with these. Another button is used for your contacts, of which you can store up to 50. The numbers on the keypad are certainly self explanatory. This phone will also feel familiar to use as it has a traditional dial tone before you dial.
You also don't need to go broke to pay for the service. Fifteen bucks will get you fifty minutes per month of talk time- you can easily add more if needed- and you don't have to sign any contracts either If you don't use the minutes, you don't get charged for them- it's that simple.
If you do have trouble using your phone or have questions, you can actually speak to a live operator who can guide you. No more going through multiple frustrating menus to get help, not with Jitterbug. Of course, there's nothing free and using this service will use up about five of your minutes. However, this isn't a real big deal as operators will even put a call through for you, should you need help. Basically, you're never alone with one of these phones.
Amazon carries these phones in a variety of colors as well as other reputable online retailers. Amazon is known for their money back guarantee and customer service. If you play your cards right, you might even be able to get free shipping.
