    Got this phone for my 91 year old mother. It works great and is really easy for her to use. The volume is perfect for her when it is at maximum. I love the fact that there is a "lock" button for the volume.

    The woman for whom I bought the phone loves it. She has Parkinson's disease and she hated her smart phone because it was always doing things she did not intend it to do. She is able to use Jiggerbug without those problems.

    Not for Seniors

    The Lively™ - Jitterbug Flip2 Cell Phone for Seniors - Red by choice is the perfect phone for an eleven year old child born with the new triple-jointed thumbs. Now, some of us "seniors" only have one-jointed thumbs and they no longer hit the tiny buttons they were aimed at. The tiny buttons don't respond well to stylus devices either. But, the major behavioral challenge of this phone for seniors is in the width and the depth. The texture of the case is slick and the grappling necessary to hold the phone in one hand and dial with the other will frequently (5 X 10) leads to smashing fumbles. Just trying to flip this phone open can be hazardous for the senior. All these problems disappear when the user is a child between the ages 11-31. The little camera is a wonder and a whiz. The keen eyes and hands of excited youth can hold that camera steady even when the OK button is clicked. Keying in favorite numbers is relatively easy for 11 year olds. In short, take "phone for seniors" off the phone and out of the advertising.

    Needed to get an easy to use phone for my senior mom and after researching online I saw Best Buy ad selling these and that it was available. The features are simple and easy for my mom and now can eliminate the cord and know she can have her phone wherever she goes. There are available extra services but I just got the 1000 min plan which comes out to about $34 a month total including those extra taxes and fees with the plan. Saving about $15 a month with her prior landline plus she still retained her number which was important because a new number would have been a difficult transition for her. I would also like to say how I received excellent customer service from the employee (Julius) who helped with the set up and info about the phone.

    Great phone, easy for the average person to learn. Only negative for me is you can’t turn up volume on text messages. It’s set at a factory volume. Mother has difficulty hearing it. Best Buy staff were extremely helpful, courteous and patient.

    Needed a basic phone because Verizon turned off my 3G service. The phone itself is east to use. Transferring service from Verizon to Lively to activate the phone was too difficult.

    Decent - but could be made better for Seniors

    Switched my 80+ year old dad to the Jitterbug Flip2. Overall, it was a good swap - from an ATT Flip phone that they were charging him $42 a month for when he doesn't use data or text. The plan for this phone is $19.99 a month - so should be better overall. Lots of features in this phone - and since my dad is visually impaired, I like the Amazon Alexa feature. It could be better though, as you can't make phone calls with Alexa directly, you need to enable the Lively skill first and then ask Alexa to ask Lively to call someone. Sometime in the future, companies will figure it out and make calling easier for the visually impaired - but at least this is a step in the right direction. We did not take advantage of the Health and Safety plans - as that costs more. Maybe in the future.

    I purchased this phone for my sister. She didn't want a complicated cell phone and said this was perfect for her needs. I found it very easy to adjust the various settings. She also read the booklet and found it so user friendly. I also have communicated with the Lively team to ask a few questions regarding the voicemail feature. It wasn't working properly and after troubleshooting they fixed it in no time. Apparently something was off at the time it was activated. The team was very helpful.

    Very easy to use. My mom has dementia and she had a jitterbug smart phone and couldn't even answer it. It seemed very simple to me but she could not use it. I purchased her this jiterbug flip phone. She still has a hard time using it but a least she is able to answer the phone.

    Perfect gift for my mother-in-law. Very user friendly for seniors. I reduced one star because it was shipped in a box twice the size of the phone packaging with no packing 'fluff' to keep it from crashing around the box for the whole shipping trip.
