Easy to use. Open to answer, close to hang up. Only downside is having to press “OK” button too many times when making a call.

It was exactly what I was looking for. My elderly grandmother has no problem using it and navigating through the system. The salesman that helped me was very thorough.

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.

I purchased this phone for my 85 year old mother. She has no problem with it. I love it. We programmed our numbers into speed dial and that has helped her. She still cannot retrieve voice mail so I wish I could delete it as number one on speed dial but I cannot. That is my only complaint. The ringer volume controls on the side I ended up locking them since she kept accidentally turning the ringer off. The locking feature is a great setting.

This phone is perfect for a senior who is not into electronics!! Easy enough to navigate! The one feature I wish were available on it is tracking~ my Mom is still able to drive( to our hometown about 45 mins away) , but I am concerned if she gets lost!

My 82 year old mother never had a cell phone, until now. This one was very easy for her to figure out, even with decreasing cognitive abilities. It makes it so much easier for my sisters and me to stay in touch with her.

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.

I love my Jitterbug flip phone. The only problem I see is the volume button goes to silent easily. A person needs to make sure the volume button is on Maximum to be able to hear the notifications and phone ringing. It is a great phone and very easy to use.

We needed a phone with no internet access. This phone works great for talk and text!

Handy and inexpensive. Needed a cheap phone to take on a trip and not to have to worry about someone stealing my regular $1000 phone. This is a good option.

This is an OK phone. Bought it for my mom, so she can reach me if the landline is down. We've had flip phones before, but this is nothing like them. I suppose, once you get used to it, it is probably simple to use, but it's not as intuitive as other phones of this design. I've used cell phones for at least 25 years & in not afraid of tech. I find it difficult to teach her to use it.
On the other hand, it's less expense than having another line on Verizon.

I first bought the Jitterbug smartphone for my aunt (75) and I thought it was great. It was so easy to use and had a lot of programs on it, but she had trouble with it, so we returned it and got the Jitterbug flip phone instead. My dad (81) also has the Jitterbug flip phone for over a year now and both of them are pleased with the product. It is simple and easy to use. There is also a max volume setting for seniors with hearing issues. Neither of them text or take photos so I can't comment on the camera. Overall, great basic flip phone.

I purchased this phone for a quick cheap fix after my original phone went wacky. Have a replacement phone being shipped, but will take awhile to arrive. Live in the country 30min. from the nearest town. Needed a phone now for emergencies while MTB riding and hiking almost every day along with the normal need of one. This Lively flip was on sale the cheapest I’ve ever seen it for $29.99 at Best Buy. Had checked it out previously for my mother when she dropped/broke her phone. It was on sale at that time for $49.99. The original retail price is $99.99. If you activate online it’s $25 vs. $35 w/in store activation, or phone call w/a representative. I purchased, activated, and picked the cheapest plan at $14.99 monthly and was all set to go for $58.00. Great deal! 300min. + .10cent per text. All I need - don’t normally text at all. For $19.99 a month you get Unlimited talk & text. Plus taxes of course. Anyway, I love this thing. So easy to set up & easy to use. Loud & crystal clear conversation both ways, and the same goes w/speaker phone. Quick easy voicemail retrieval. A very nice looking basic well made sturdy little phone. You can stop and start service with no penalty charge. Stays activated as far as I was told. Will have to double check with that now that I have a phone to call Lively/Great call to confirm how that may actually work. This phone will just be a backup phone for me in the future. Only 1 very minor con... have to press the OK button on the keypad to answer incoming calls...... it’s not all that hard to do. Thanks for listening/reading, WAG

I'm disappointed that I do not get email and do not have a mike.......however it has all the important features of me and the price is right!

Great phone for older parents! I got red so it can be easily seen. The large buttons are helpful and Lively customer service is great! It has more steps to get things done than an iPhone, but they’re simple for non tech elders.
