Customer Ratings & Reviews

Got this phone for my 93 year old mother. She is incapable of using a smart phone so a simple flip phone is ideal for her. It's so easy to operate. Just open the flip to answer calls and close it to hang up. It also puts the phone number right on the display so it's easy for her to give her number out without having to memorize it.

This was an EXCELLENT choice for my father who is in a nursing home. We were able to easily program speed dial buttons so he doesn't need to enter 10 digits. It fits nicely in a pocket so he can take it with him to meals and activities.

This phone fits all the needs for my eighty three year old father! It's simple and works well.

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

I bought this for my husband as an easy to use flip phone since he won't learn to use a smart phone. He learned to use it when someone programmed most used phone numbers, but still doesn't use it.

3 Stars - an average phone. Sound quality and volume is good, menu system is clumsy with way too many buttons to push to get anything done. It needs a “Delete All” menu item for voice-mails and especially for texts. Text messages display in a “window”, which makes them narrower than the screen. When you access a text the text menu stays on the screen and covers half of it so scrolling is mandatory to read even very short messages. Battery life is okay, I never use the camera so no opinion on it. So far I'm happy with Lively's service. This phone is not great, but it gets the job done. If you don’t want to deal with a “smart” phone you don’t have many options. I wish they could have upgraded my old “LG Env3" phone to 4G. That was an outstanding phone.

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

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.

I bought this for my mother who had a smartphone but was a bit complicated as she is from the type writer generation and she loves it. Plus has an emergency button

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

Bought for my mom. She loves the security of the emergency help button. She has extremely bad arthritis & she can handle this phone well. I had to lock the side buttons (great feature) so she couldn't accidentally lower the volume.

Works great likea any other flip phone. The speaker phone function could be improved.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

So far so good. We had no issues. My 80 year old dad s using it.
