How it's going to work:
- Every few minutes, we're going to release more inventory.
- Shortly, the button below will turn back to yellow (unless we sell out).
- At that point, try adding it to your cart again.
Pro Tip: If that works, checkout as fast as you can. It won't be reserved until you are in checkout. Good luck!

New phone
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Features
Quality4 out of 5Value3 out of 5My 98 year old mom took about 3 weeks to learn how to use the basic functions of this flip phone after her other one broke. I need to make her some notes on making a call, answering the phone, etc. The manual was clear enough for a younger person. I am happy to say that she is getting used to her phone and she likes the red color.

Happy with my new Jitterbug flip!
|Posted .Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5I love this new jitterbug flip phone. It's easy to use, has everything you could want on it, and so much more reasonably priced than the AT&T flip I owned. The AT&T bills were getting higher every month, even though my usage was minimal......just for emergency calls only. I never chat on my cell phone, just the land line. There is also an emergency button on this new phone in case you are ever in trouble, help will be provided. I had one before, was talked into a new service, and regretted it. As soon as the jitterbug went on sale, I took advantage & ordered one. It was delivered in 2 days. The customer service dept. was great with helping me get connected. I'm so happy with my jitterbug flip!!

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use3 out of 5While it is for the most part simple to use there are still some aspects that are hard for my elderly father to grasp. Have to scroll so much and push "ok" multiple times just to make a call.

New Jitterbug 2
|Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5A little difficult to set Alexa up, but totally well worth it for a senior in you life, nothing easier for an elderly parent that saying “Alexa, dial my son/daughter” Once again, Just have to make sure you have it set up beforehand.

Pleased with this product
|Posted .Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use4 out of 5Bought this phone for my aunt who is 95 years old. It replaces an older, smaller flip phone that was difficult for her to use. The larger keys are easy to use and the limited number of functions is better for seniors. There will be a learning curve for her because it is different from what she is used to, but she is making progress. Set up took longer than I expected but customer service was very helpful. So happy to have this option for older folks.

Great phone with emergency response button
|Posted .Owned for 1 week when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Very nice study phone that still feels like the flip phone of the past. The red button for assistance in a emergency was the seller for me as my dad falls a lot. Cradle for charging also helps as you don't have to get the plug in the little hole, just drop it in.

What experts are saying
Q: QuestionDoes the Lively Flip have a better speakerphone than the Jitterbug flip? What about the sound quality? I bought my Mom the Jitterbug flip but the sound quality was so poor she couldn't use it - wondering if the new Lively Flip is any better?
Asked by Snoopy.
- A:Answer I have it on the maximum volume and the sound quality is still very weak - I have good hearing and compared to my iphone, the sound quality is just horrible - considering that this phone is designed for seniors who generally have hearing difficulties, one would think more effort would have gone into the design of the phone to ensure superior sound quality.
Answered by Snoopy
