    Too early to judge battery life, but its got to be better than old one. Cust service made setup a breeze as i was already a lively customer. This model is little bigger, i like that.

    Bought this for a relative with a lower IQ who doesnt understand a typical smartphone with all the extras. This phone however was perfect for him! The basics for use, but easy enough for someone to use who doesnt have all the understandings of electronics.

    Much too "smart" a phone for the price. We are very pleased with the Lively Jitterbug. It does what we wanted out of a cell phone and so much more and at a very reasonable cost.

    So far this phone is great for my 93 yr old aunt. Great size and easy to hold when put in the pink case protector. Screen menu is so easy for her to use. Great videos on how to use.

    Phone for seniors is the best description for this one. It's a simple easy to understand smart phone.I got this for my mom who is intimidated by technology. She does like the look and can see things better than a flip phone. The only negative I can see is the service is a little bit pricey.

    This phone was for my 91 year old mom who used to be quite tech savvy but is now having memory issues. She had an older model of the Jitterbug smartphone but she seems to be doing more with this newer version. Unfortunately my brother had to manually transfer all her pictures and phone numbers since he wasn’t able to transfer it over automatically. I’m unable to comment on picture quality or battery life,

    My husband and I love our Jitterbug Smart 3 phones, We have used them for several years and just needed an upgrade. They set up everything for us and transferred our info from old phones to new. Thank you Best Buy!

    This is an upgrade from Smart2 to Smart3 for me. This phone is a great improvement over the Smart2. I have no need for the safety component and it is nice that it is now an option. When I had the Smart2 I was a victim of a reverse 911 call which brought the police to my home. I had to request customer support remove that component from my phone as I couldn’t remove it myself. This phone really covers all my needs for phone service, texts and emails. Easy to use also.
