    It’s fine kind of a pain to make a call, you have to scroll to find the contact and them push ok three times before the call goes through.

    Sometimes Redesigns Wreck Usefulness

    Posted .

    We purchased this phone for my 96-yr old mother who has very low vision and is hard of hearing. She's not tech savvy and is very forgetful. This phone isn't intuitive at all and it has software glitches Lively knows about but hasn't expressed an interest in fixing. Half the time the Alexa/Lively interface kicks Mom out to her phone screen after she's correctly completed the 3 different responses needed to get the phone to dial a contact number. Sometimes turning it off and on again helps but usually she just has to wait a bit then keep trying, sometimes for over a day. The 1st customer service rep suggested setting up Speed dialing for her frequently called numbers but that isn't helpful since she can't see well enough. We finally reached a rep that said a lot of seniors have called in about the same problem. He offered to send her the original Jitterbug Flip like the one she had and loved. He even said if we call when it arrives they will activate it and then transfer her contacts for her. Also the battery can be taken out and additional memory can be added under the battery. Re: other issues with the Flip2, the volume isn't as loud as it should be even when set at maximum. This is a worse problem when using the speaker phone. The rubbery buttons aren't defined enough to use by feel. And if my mother grips the phone very hard, random buttons are sometimes pushed causing actions by the phone..

    A more basic model is also needed.

    I like the concept BUT, I would love to see a phone created that is strictly designed for elderly and in particularly those with Dementia/Alzheimer's. Such as removing all access of apps, games, internet access... a phone that is easily accessible and removes advanced features (touch screens, face detection, cameras); items that don't create a sensory overload for health patients. And possibly changing the 'OK' button to simply say 'TALK'.

    Piece of crap Sales people Lied this phone was supposed to use Alexa to call and text people. It is complicated You have to say Alexa Ask Lively to call........ If you mess it up you have to close the phone and do it again. So now put it in the hands of a person with dementia. Good Luck it is NOT WHAT they are selling you it is NOT SIMPLE Took two hours to set up several phone calls to Lively agents they kept getting disconnected and when you call back the wait times get longer and longer. We are not happy.

    compared to the previous LG flip phone this Lively cell phone offers a great deal more for the money. Simple to use, easier to read. Texting is easier and it takes great photos.

    Great look. Easier to use then standard phone. Entering contacts can be tricky with the standard buttons. Getting around takes practice. Overall, a good flip phone.

    Jitterbug Flip2 review

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    My wife wanted a replacement flip phone for calls and text only and had no need for an internet connection. A large keypad with button description (L, R, Up, Down, Ok, Back...) rather than symbols is very user friendly. Easy to access phone, text messages and Contacts information.... Happy with the Lively Jitterbug Flip2.

    For aphone advertised for Seniors, I find this a cumbersome phone because you have to hit OK so many times to do anything. I am happy with the flip phone style.

    I think the phone is OK, wanted to exchange it to change colors but store wouldn't give it to me for the same price. Not out of box or opened as it is a gift.

    It has simplified my life. No longer the complex dissatisfying use of iPhone. This one is focussed on what we need phones for -- making and receiving calls and a bit more. The manual is a dream of simplicity. I love it and urging my friends to switch off iPhone and get one of these.

    Jitterbug works great for my mom that is 83!

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The Jitterbug cell phone is working out great for my mom, since she needed a phone for people that are hard of hearing. It was quite a bit of work though getting the number ported from my previous cell phone company. Also the Best Buy representative did not tell me when I was activating the phone that I was not immediately getting the number from the previous company.

    I wish the information on the front cover was more defined. The letters and numbers, etc. are very faint.
