Lively™ - Jitterbug® Smart3 Smartphone for Seniors - Black

I would recommend this phone to someone . If anyone out there looking for a great phone for the loved one this is it.

My husband is 80 years old and it is very difficult for him to learn new things. The Verizon store embarrassed us and I left crying. Today I am crying because the young men who helped us were so caring. Chance and another employee were patient and professional. My husband now has a phone that will keep him safe and he feels so empowered by the ability to text and easily answer his calls. Thank you for a great protect and priceless people on your staff. Everyone was delightful.

My wife and I bought this phone for her 90+ year old father. He is still active and we needed to get him a phone that would allow for apps such as Waze to be added. If you have ever watched the TV ad for this phone it makes it seem like the perfect cell phone solution for an older person. Unfortunately this phone and the service leaves a lot to be desired. The phone itself is not very large. My wife and I have Iphon 12's and that would be a better size phone. This phone is closer to an Iphone 7 in size. The display at the Best Buy store was damaged so we did not get to actually see the phone before purchasing it. My mistake. The phone is too small. There is really no way to make the words on the phone larger than any other cell phone either so that is a questionable claim made by Lively. The upper volume is not nearly as loud as my Iphone at its highest setting. For a phone advertised for old people that is poor. You have to pay extra for the emergency button service. The Lively ad makes it seem like that is included. It is not and costs an additional $10 per month. Setting the phone up was a pain in the butt but maybe that is because I don't have an Android phone. Another gripe I have with this phone was the phone number Lively tried to assign to it. We wanted an 864 area code (South Carolina). We bought the phone from a Best Buy in the 864 area code. When we called Lively to set the phone up and activate it they gave us a 909 area code (Southern California). Not even close to South Carolina unless you think 2400 miles is close. It took my wife over two hours working with various Lively employees to get the phone number changed. Even the Lively Supervisor couldn't figure it out at first but finally did. The only positive is that this phone cose much less than an Iphone. Bottom line, I would not buy this phone again. A good Iphone would have allowed for a bigger screen, larger fonts, louder volume and a better experience. This phone and the Lively service leave a lot to be desired.

i am seriously in love with this phone! it's my very first "smartphone" , and i was terrified at first, but it is so easy to learn to use, and the mic/speaker makes it so easy to hear,talk and especially text is just amazing! i'm learning the camera functions too, thanks to the excellent user guide and tutorials, i'm so thankful i decided to give it a shot! and believe me, if this computer illiterate can make this phone work in a happy way, SO CAN YOU! GIVE IT A TRY!

My first one was damaged because it was accidentally thrown into the wash machine and dryer in a pair of mtpants. Up unti that time I liked it. I bought a new second one and it was found to be defective.MANY hours lost here to get it replaced. Finally replaced and it is just fine!

Love the phone. Learning to use functions I have not used before. My only reason for not giving the phone of five star is because of the location of the five star on the phone. It is easy to hit the star accidentally, although easy to cancel the call immediately. I would definitely recommend this phone, especially to users not adept at computers and other like kind devices.

I am thrilled at being able to send texts for the first time in my 88 years. I have no knowledge in the world of technology so I can't use all there is for me. I hope to find someone who can tutor me in all the wonders that await me.

I'm very satisfied with my new Jitterbug Lively Smart phone. It's so much easier to use than my last phone; and the fact that it comes with a nice compact instruction booklet that shows you step-by-step how to do things is the best. I was never the type to keep my cell phone on all the time, but I do this one, I even have a daily alarm scheduled to ring each morning Just in case my internal alarm clock doesn't wake me up. It has a nice soft ring that doesn't jolt you out of your chair or bed. All around a pleasure to have, Thanks Jitterbug for making a phone with the older generation in mind.
