A:AnswerThe Lively has upgraded some specs and adds Alexa. But since it removed speed dial and Alexa integration is buggy and requires a multi step conversation to make a call, the original Jitterbug is a better option for those less technical or vision-impaired. After trying to make it work, I had to switch my mom back to the Jitterbug.

A:AnswerThey are similar, but the Lively is much more complicated for what should be simple things. Don't believe those saying they are the same; you will be sorely disappointed!

A:AnswerNo..I have the newest Jitterbug Smart 3 cell phone, and after 1 whole week of tech support from Lively Smart, even with remote control, they connected me with their top tech, and after two days waiting for a reply to my problem he said this phone is not wifi enabled. Even though phone is built with the capacity for wifi, the company Lively Smart which is a trademark of BEST BUY most probably decided to not enable this function in order to be able to collect more revenue with only cellular connection capabilities. If you live remotely as I do and there is no cellular tower available, and you depend upon wifi to make and receive phone calls and texts you are out of luck, even though this phone is an excellent one.
A:AnswerI see Lively answered a question like yours claiming that the Jitterbug has the flip to answer option but the truth is the Jitterbug is not a flip to answer phone. I flowed Lively's instructions and I called Lively. Mine and my mother's is still a two step operation. I am looking for another phone.
A:AnswerGreat Call told me there was a 30 return period if my mom didn't like the phone. I was concerned that she wouldn't hear it ring because her Verizon phone (Orbic) was not loud enough. The Lively phone is plenty loud - and you can make it vibrate to help get your attention.
