I purchased this phone for my senior father. He was using a semi-smart phone with a touch screen that was a real pain for him. I considered getting a new fully smart phone for him, but then I saw this phone and a great Black Friday deal at Best Buy.
Considering everything he really needs in a phone (calling people, basically), this one seemed perfect, and indeed it has been.
I set the phone up for my father, which was easy to do with Lively, and they have a great $20 a month plan with unlimited call and text. Then I added some contacts for him. I didn't sign up for the health alerts because he already has another plan, but it's a great option.
That was really all I needed to do to get this into a shape that will be useful for him. It's nice that the phone also does texts, takes photos, has a flashlight, etc., but he probably won't use those features. It's just large enough for him to see and push the buttons, but small enough to fit in his shirt pocket. So, overall, I highly recommend this for an older person looking for a straightforward cell phone.

I like this Lively Jitterbug flip2 cellphone. It's mostly easy to use and has features I need and does not have features I don't need in a cellphone, like internet access. The one feature I would wish was improved is the 8 mb camera, which could very much use an anti-shake mechanism that point-and-shoots have, and increased resolution, which would be valued by me. I'd also like the flash to be able to be turned off, but maybe I haven't yet figured how to do that.

Bought this for my 85 year old mother in law. Her eyesight is poor. This phone suits her very well. We programmed the numbers for quick dial and she is now able to have regular phone conversations with family. Definitely recommend.

It's a good phone to practice on. It introduces you to cell phone technology. And it's simple to use. I've had some good help from the people at Lively for detailed instructions/corrections. I'm pleased with the purchase.
Being a senior and late in the tech game, it has appeal that way.

I bought this for my 90 year old Father and it was perfect. It's simple, easy to use, large, very loud (Which I needed as his hearing aids aren't always in), and best of all he seems to be able to use it fairly well compared to other phones.

I got this for my husband who has severe visual problems. Although he wished the numbers, etc., were a little larger, he is pleased with the phone and has found it easy to use.

Phone arrived very quickly (within 2 days). Looks very nice and buttons are very large and easy to see/read. For the most part, device is easier to use than other similar flip phones. Have not yet used camera so cannot rate.

Phone was purchased for dementia client. Works as advertised. We had very little trouble getting her to use and answer calls. We have not tried camera function. Love that there is no WiFi or apps for safety reasons.

Got this phone for an elderly family member, had some issues with getting the phone to accept and receive calls but after a quick call to Lively they were able to help with that. Since then we have not had any issuse, seems to be a good emergency phone for those that dont want a life alert button.

The Jitterbug Flip2 cell phone is a true investment. I purchased for my parents who are 92 and 93 years old. When they lose power in their home, we are able to keep in touch. Not complicated to use at all. They love the favorites and shortcut features. Thank you Lively Jitterbug

Works fine -is a replacement for an older FLIP2 that the internal battery charge circuitry failed and phone would get hot.
I ordered two since wife said she wanted one with same phone number - talked a a person at Lively who apparently did not understand me or I did not understand her -but when doing the activation -was told it could not be done.
It has a zillion new "features"

I bought this phone for my wife as she is having trouble remembering how to use a smart phone. It's simple, easy to read and operate and I also activated the emergency "Star" help button that she can push to get help in a crisis, even if I'm not nearby.

Bought it for my mother and the larger buttons are a big plus. I don't like that the screen goes dark after a couple of minutes (I was told by a rep that I talk to on the phone that it does that to save the battery, but it's annoying). It's user friendly, but even though we have Verizon, our signal is never at a decent/normal level.

Third jitterbug phone I’ve had. It’s easy to carry and sufficient for my needs. The ringer could be louder however. I was told I couldn’t buy a replacement battery which I felt was a screw!
