Q: What network do these run on. Lively must be using someone's towers - whose?
A: Great question! The Lively network uses the Verizon towers.
Q: Am I able to do WIFI calling with this phone?
A: I found out the hard way that WiFi calling is disabled by visible on all jitterbug phones. Yes you can download an app to do it that way but you will have to select the app manually and have a separate number for that line. It is not seamless or easy for elderly people like it would be if they just allowed wifi calling in the first place. I cannot recommend these phones to anyone until that issue is solved.

Set up was glitchy
I think my 89 year old mom will finally be willing to ditch her flip phone for the Jitterbug Smart 4. The interface is easy and pretty intuitive. BUT. It took tech skills to set it up. There was supposed to be a card in the user guide that told me how to activate a Lively account. I never saw it and had to call Lively. Once they told me the website to activate, I moved on to the next glitch. The voicemail setup kept spinning, giving an error message and then going right back to spinning. The only way to exit was to reboot. Finally, once I got past the google signon, the keyboard came up blank in every app. I thought maybe I corrupted somethig when I rebooted, so I reset to factory settings and set it up again. Still no keyboard. Ugh. Found a suggestion online to update the keyboard app. I’m an IOS girl, and the keyboard is inherent. Who knew? So I go to Google Play and guess what. You can’t search without a keyboard. Voice search wasn’t even working. I finally found a place where I could click on update app from the phone, and it updated and fixed the problem. So, it migjt be a simple phone to use, but it a non-techie elderly person could never have set it up! My mom will love the 178 page guidebook, but the pages are falling out, like the glue is crumbling. The guy I talked to at Lively said they will send me another one.

Nice phone
Nice phone. Pretty easy to use. I got it for my husband who has beginning stages of dementia. All he needed is for was to call out for me to call him. The phone seems to be easier than the TracFone that we had. The only thing I don’t like is that it takes 4 steps to make a phone call. The battery life is very good. It will go a week on one charge if you’re just making phone calls. I’m hoping that this will be the last phone we have to purchase for a while.

JITTER-UP
easy to use I am 88 years young. Although the Jitterbug Smart4 is only compatible with Lively’s plans, this cellular provider offered everything I’d need in terms of coverage.
