Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is my mother's third flip phone. It is easy for her to use.

It took some time to actually activate the phone for my 94 YO mom, primarily due to my work schedule, but it was fairly easy once I had the time. It took another 45 minutes over 3 phone calls and some 'net time to successfully migrate the Verizon phone #, but the customer service reps were all very patient & knowledgeable, and successfully navigated all the hurdles to complete the switch. My Mom is still learning how to use it, but she finally has a cell phone she will use as it has clear sound, buttons her weak arthritic fingers can actually push, and a easy flip opening. (She could barely get her old phone open.) We haven't gotten into the emergency app yet, but are looking forward to that extra level of peace of mind as she still lives alone in her own home.

great update - easier than old one-great way to charge

I bought this phone for my 83 year old mother who only desires a flip phone. This was the best flip phone that was out there at a great price. My mother loves it, and the beautiful color that it comes in. She is very satisfied with this purchase. Thank you, Best Buy for giving her the opportunity to continue to be able to purchase a flip phone at an affordable price.

Phone has been good for my 85 year old mother. However, the volume button being on the side of the phone where it is held during calls is a terrible design flaw. Very often while my Mom is talking, she inadvertently presses the volume button and turns it down to silent. She doesn’t know it is on Siena and then when I call and can’t get an answer, there is a panic on why she is not answering and requires someone to go to her house to turn the volume back up. Other than that, it has served her well. But this is an ongoing daily/weekly problem.

It's an easy to use flip phone. I didn't want a smart phone or be forced to buy a data plan. This phone is exactly what I needed as all I do is make phone calls on it. The numbers and keys are in larger print so that's an added bonus.

I purchased this phone for my mother who is 89 years old. It was to replace her previous Great Call phone which was damaged. This phone is easy for her to use and the large buttons are easy for her to see and the price makes the phone affordable. The gentleman I spoke to at the Great Call service center was very helpful in setting up the new phone. Overall, it was a good experience.

I purchased this phone for my 82 year old sister who lives in a nursing home. The store clerk set it up for me and then I entered the phone numbers. The only issue we have had is a user error. My sister has accidently placed it on silence three times and once erased all of the phone numbers. These issues are not issues with the phone but with the user. Lively has been great to work with. I have an account set up. They even allowed me to pay a year in advance so I didn't have to worry about the monthly bill. It is a great phone for someone who is older. It is easy to use, easy to charge and easy to program numbers.

the phone itself is fine.... the phone must have sat at the store for quite some time. it needed updated, but yet there isn't any alert of any kind to tell you that it needs an update. Had lots of dropped calls, and unable to make outgoing calls. Returned the first phone to Best Buy thinking it was an issue with the phone.. Then the same issue with the second phone. It would be nice if there was some alert stating it needs an update, or if the Best Buy staff knows that the phone as been sitting there for a long time, maybe advise customer to call Lively to get it updated. Of course smart phones let you know when an update is needed, but these basic phones do not.

This is great me because I am older and this is very easy for me to use thank you Best buy and lively

One of the best flip phones out there. Found out easy to activate

Great phone. This is for a senior family member. The phone is fairly easy for them to use (age 82). Large display. Has speaker phone option. Clear and loud audio/ring settings. The Urgent Response button in itself is fantastic and very well worth it. Highly recommend

We have one of these for my father and it's a good basic flip phone with very easy to use features IF your senior relative is willing to work with it. I like the fact that the pocket dial is not as common as you have to press OK to dial etc. The commands should be easier but if the user is still not keen on learning how to use it and hearing impaired you may find it not as easy as you think. I would recommend it for users who know how to use a flip phone and just want it for urgent matters.

We have tried other phones with no success. But with the Jitterbug, it is the perfect phone for my 7) year old husband who is not fond of technology. This phone came with an instruction guide, big buttons, big letters and numbers so he can see them. It’s great!!

Bought this for our 89 year old mother in law. The transfer from one provider to Lively took a visit to the other providers store and three very lengthy phone calls to finally get the transferred number onto the new Lively device. The Lively operators (two of them) told me that this happens all the time and about 50% require a couple of different troubleshooting actions to fix. Once that occurred still the product needed to be restarted 3 times to get the highest volume (in and out) to be accepted and working. The reason I am giving it 3 stars and not worse is because now that all of those problems have been worked through the phone works well and is easy for her to use.

great little phone got it for my Dad easy to use

Great phone would recommend to anyone and easy to use

The phone is a simple, basic phone with big butons for seniors that only need to talk (primarily) and text (occassionally). After being assured that Best buy would move the contacts from the old phone (Samsusung 10 Android) to the new phone, the Best buy rep expoerted all the contacts to a SD card - and charged me for it - and then after 10 minutes, said there were too many contacts and that we would have to move them manually without providing any instructions. Once we tried there was no way to access the SD card in the Lively phone and were told that they have to be manually input. Bottom line line - decent phone for seniors but Best buy "total Tech" is a joke and doesn't deliver what they promise - is that fraud?

Perfect for my mother. Works well and she finds it very easy to operate

Newer Jitterbug is improved in keys visibility. It was simple to transfer from my old settings onto the new device. Best Buy gave me the Lively Customer Service number and preliminary do’s and don’t’s. It took just minutes and the Jitterbug rep stayed on with me to answer any questions
