Customer Reviews
The phone, I have the original Jitterbug (that was replaced with the J). It is a bit heavy in the pocket but it's also rugged and durable. I even accidentally drove over it in my pickup. The phone continued to work well. Try that with one of these high tech smart phones! After over 3 years, I am only now thinking about replacing the battery. A new battery will hold a charge for 90 hours. Mine is now down to 30-40 hours between charges. But it still works. The buttons are large enough for my fingers, the sound is good, and screen quite readable even with my bad eyes.
The service has been outstanding. Something that can not be said for most telephone services. GreatCalls uses the Sprint network which has provided me good service even in the New Mexico desert, the Rockie Mountains, and even 30 miles off-shore. I'm a low phone user so 250 minutes lasts me a couple of months. No, the per-minute cost is not the best. But the total monthly cost is as good or better than most I've looked at.
I'm not some young kid who needs or wants all the bells & whistles. But neither am I a senior citizen. I'm a middle aged man with no kids at home and who doesn't use my cell phone for business. I don't need a camera, or internet connection, or an mp3 player. All I wanted was a phone. One that worked well. I got what I asked for at a good price.
And no, I haven't been paid to write this review. But a good product/service should be given the credit it's due. If you want a mobile phone that is just a phone. That is good & reliable and you aren't a gabber for hundreds of minutes a week, Jitterbug is the phone for you.
I called customer service and was told that this is a common complaint so that's why they offer the lanyard.
The phones easy to use for making calls but even for good of hearing - it's a challenge to depend on.
If we had figured out before the 30 days were up that the reason she didn't answer the phone was because she couldn't hear it ring, this thing would have gone back immediately.
The phone and its service are targeted to older individuals: big buttons, an honest-to-goodness dial tone, a medication reminder service, a 24/7 advice nurse, no contract ... see what I mean?
Also, I changed my mind about the color I wanted and Amazon said it was too late to change the order; I e-mailed Jitterbug and they were happy to cancel the white phone for the graphite one. Nice, guize!
I was more than pleased to receive and start using this phone instantly.... Read more
for visually impaired function buttons can be a challenge.
also power adapter port not perfect. Read more
The buttons are easy to see and she can control the volume easily.
samsung & jitterbug should update this phone with a newer and more up to date model.
