Customer Ratings & Reviews

Grest for seniors, touch and sight. Not as small as others

Terrible-second bill was over$250. Plan was supposed to be unlimited. Said they would reverse charges and never did. Website is unfriendly. Was never able to set up auto pay online, ended up calling company to set it up over phone. Even then it was not set up and auto pay never took effect. I don’t believe an older person would be able to navigate the obstacles this company creates. Cancelled service after 4 months of service and almost $400 worth of charges.

My relative just wanted a simple phone to use, but wanted a flip phone so it didn't fall out of his pocket. He is color blind and has vision issues. He set this up on his own, very CLEAR instructions and easy to use guide added the larger text and can read it without his glasses. He also set the background color so he could see the writing. He had 5 colors to choose from, would have preferred a black, but that was not a choice. He will not be using the texting or medical part, just wanted the ability to call. The downside is you pay for the phone, ($100) then you pay for the activation fee ($35) and also for a voicemail feature ($3) and if you text ((.10) per text. Somehow they could advertise the activation fee. I ordered on line and it came the next day, BIG PLUS. No physical person to talk to only robo's that was the downside 5 star for meeting our requirements.

I bought this phone for my senior mother-in-law. It's easy enough for her to use and it's very reliable.

I loved the red color, the fact it's a flip phone, and it's size. Picks up signal as well as any other phone.

I had a lot of trouble getting an existing phone number ported over to this phone. Per Lively's instructions I shutdown and restarted the phone several times over the period of few days after Lively notified me that the number had been successfully ported to no avail. I had to do a factory reset to finally get the phone to recognize the number. The phone has good clear volume, but I think the original Jitterbug Flip was easier to navigate. You have to push a lot of buttons to make a call from your contacts. One nice feature about the Lively service is that contacts can be added, deleted, and edited from the online account so you don't have to do that via the phone's number pad.

We recently purchased this for our 96 year old mom, who was struggling with her i-phone. This has actual buttons, and one primarily uses the "back" and "OK" buttons, along with the up and down arrows. This has simplified her life.

It works like it should. No problems at all. Great phone for seniors.

staff very competent. went out of their way to satisfy.

The Jitterbug phone has been an excellent choice for my elderly mother. It is easy to read and easy to operate. It accompanies the Lively phone plan which is economically priced at $19.99/mo. Although my mom doesn't use it, it even has a camera! She really likes her phone.

This new one is not as good as the previous one. The new one has a battery that does not hold its charge very long. It also seems to stay on all of the time. More complex to use than the earlier one.

We bought this phone for my husband who uses a phone only for phoning, not even texting. So it's perfect. He had tried two other flip phones and they were unwieldy--tried to be smart phones as well. Not user friendly. This one is, though there are a couple of changes I would make to do things faster like deleting calls, etc. All in all, he is very satisfied, plus the customer support is fantastic.

If you only want to phone, receive and send text messages this is the right cell for the right price. With a tight budget at hand I could only afford to spend 35 dollars max. on a payment plan so this was the solution for me. It even comes with a camera so you can still take pictures of your loved ones.

Husband is hard of hearing and not tech savvy. Having no success with other flip phones, he decided to try the Jitterbug. He hears well with it and is continuing to learn to navigate it.

Great item for technically challenged seniors. Easy to use and understand. Being used by an 85 year old and it's perfect. Has a lot of bells and whistles but in a "simple" format.

Wish I could turn the volume up higher. Battery life doesn’t last long

I got this phone for my Mother, i programed it for her, it was an easy setup, Mom really likes it alot, easy for her use, your associate was very helpful also, I want to thank all that was involved, Sincerely JJ

Great phone for an elderly / non-tech type. Easy to set up and use.

So far it's been a great addition to my peace of mind with the added features of being able to get the location and have a one touch help call for my mother all that added security is nice the phone feels well constructed and the buttons are a good size sofar we have been happy with the phone

Overall this product is pretty user friendly but the instruction booklet should contain info on how to delete RECENT CALLS. I had to call Customer Care and they were kind of stumped on something that should be so straightforward. They told me the calls will drop off automatically and I trust that will happen. Also, I would suggest a different design for the VOLUME buttons on the side of the phone. When holding the phone, your hand automatically goes to the VOLUME buttons and inadvertently you can lower the volume. The elderly person for whom I purchased this phone is not hearing the phone ring because she is not aware that she is pressing the "decrease Volume" button.
